Learn a lot,  work-life balance not worth the pay.
Pros: Great experience for someone joining the FDD group right out of college. You get exposure to M&A transactions, and target Management teams. Big learning curve, but you learn and develop skills that can be applied in any job.
Cons: When you get more deal experience and get good at your job, you start getting busier and busier, as directors and partners will have a higher demand for you. This leaves less experience people sitting on the bench while you get more and more responsibilities. It seems like a good thing at first, but then you realize this model is not sustainable as people get burnt out. The compensation does not proportionately increase with the amount of hours and work.
