You Can't Judge a Book by it's Cover
Pros: - There is opportunity for advancement; unfortunately, it is mostly based on who you know and not what you know.
- Large firm with diversified work on many levels -- You must be aggressive and ask for it.
- Diverse workforce
- Still is a significant resume addition based on name; however, that reputation has gradually started to slip over the last 10 years -- especially, within financial circles.
Cons: - Still a boy's club.  You can be the smartest, hardest-working individual in the room -- if you are not part of the club (on any level) you will never advance or be rewarded in any fashion.
- The firm prides itself on delivering the message of work/life balance; however, that is far from true in the trenches.  Fact is, the firm is first, your family is LAST.
- Benefits have dwindled over the years -- and continue to dwindle with each passing year.  Healthcare options are EXPENSIVE!
