Challenging work, strong leadership
Pros: Leadership is strong and diverse. Every principal or director got to be where they were because they had a particular brand which makes them unique. It's encouraging to see that type of focused leadership. 2. Your career is entirely yours to own. If you're very driven and know what you want to do in the firm then you'll go far. 3. Because it's a jumbo-sized firm you'll often team up across company silos and be exposed to work you wouldn't get anywhere else. 4. The pay and benefits are mostly great, except their 401k.
Cons: Work-life balance is tricky but not impossible. It mostly depends on the project(s) you work on, as some are more flexible than others. It can be hard to plan your life longer than 3-6 months out because you never know when you'll get staffed on an intense project that requires you to travel to the client on a regular basis. Finally, your career moves up very fast so you'll want to take advantage of working on a variety of things. When you level up and are expected to find your focus, it will be too late to try other opportunities.
