Good place to start a career, if you're running for the run of mill ...
Pros: People.  The people are great.  You'll make lots of friends and feel like you have a family.  Global reach with local presence.  This means that while you can have a local office feel to your work you still gain an appreciation for working for a large professional services firm.
Cons: Lack of meritocracy and low compensation.  Here's the problem wit that.  In a capital market, compensation reflects fair value for services performed.  So, it basically says that as far as market is concerned, your work isn't very valuable.  You can't help some of it, but if you let the stars rise and keep working harder and make more, it would be less of an issue.
