What you do, and who you know.
Pros: Big firm with good benefits.  Depending on the project you're assigned to, and the team you're working with can be a positive working experience.  There are a lot of opportunities for those who qualify, and meet the desired requirements.
Cons: Big firm challenges.  Hierarchy of a big firm.  In order to be recognized, and perceived positively by firm leadership you're gonna have to possess a valuable skill, or work your tail off and sacrifice your personal life to contribute to other firm related activities.  Work essentially becomes your life, and identity.  Corporate culture varies depending on project, but have observed, and experienced dysfunctional management styles where team members are disrespected, embarrassed, excluded for not "fitting in" to the group.  The highly competitive culture creates an atmosphere where it's a dog eat dog environment.  I assume this is prevalent in most big firms.  Some are able to function well, and some aren't.
