The pros and the cons - being honest
Pros: -The brand is useful to have on a CV.
-Colleagues are smart, driven, career focused people.
-Only high performers are in the workforce. Sub standard workers need not apply.
-The firm has some good work experiences and the work itself is generally challenging.
-Exposure to clients is good and your ability to grow and learn is openly available.
Cons: I will now summarise the complete list of cons:

-Mistakes are not allowed
-Challenging the status quo is not allowed
-Development is non existant
-Performance is assessed on your ability to be liked and to suck up to senior leadership, not your competence or work ethic
-The work will make you sick. Not figuratively, literally. Mental health is a serious problem in the ranks.
-Partner profit is the only value the firm has. Don't believe anything else.
-Middle management is impotent and limp.
-Non client facing staff are treated like dirt. 
-Nepotism and cronyism is part of life, overtly so.
-Subtle bullying exists and is occasionally encouraged.
-Coaching and mentoring received is directly proportional to your popularity.
-Remuneration is below industry. Fact.
-Company IT is awful. Just awful.
