Great Company & Future, but a bad manager can cancel that all out
Pros: - Supportive, helpful co-workers
- Co-workers are intelligent, competent, excited to be there
- Interesting work
- Culture encourages vacation/time-for-self
- Company/teams constantly searching to better themselves, work more efficiently, etc.
- Company infrastructure very solid - rarely concerns about equipment, travel plans, meeting set-up, etc.
Cons: - Your path is very much determined by your manager(s) perception. 
- Permanent seating in NY Office for Senior Associates and below is nonexistent - not a big deal for a few months, but begins to affect focus, ability to organize, and morale after a while.
- Not necessarily easy to switch to different work-streams
- Management often unable to understand the benefits individual members of a team bring to the team's overall performance, many instances of micromanagement.
- Overall focus on efficiency can narrow vision. There is usually more than one way to solve a problem, complete a task, present a deliverable; but mgmt often gets stuck in "my way is the only way".
- Competency can be expected in areas that were not originally communicated for one to be expected to be fluent in.
