Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Lots of challenge, lots of overtime
Pros: There are a lot of good people at the lower levels, and you can get a lot of good experience because there is so much work to do.
Cons: You're basically a work mule. Say goodbye to family life and friends outside the firm and say hello to 60 hour work weeks on average. They say they have work-life balance mechanisms, but your career will go nowhere if you take them up on it. As well, if you're coming in from outside the firm, you'll be treated as a second class citizen. Senior management is often out of touch and promotion opportunities only happen once a year.
