Good place to start a career, but expect long work hours on regular basis.
Pros: Good place to start a career.  Firm has excellent benefits.  Most of senior management are easily accessible and act promptly on individual concerns.
Cons: Long hours will be required on regular basis which tends to affect work/life balance.  There is a heavy management oversight if employees do not charge 50 hours per week of billable time.  There were recent lay-offs which were not formally communicated which tends to create a lot of speculation among the employees.  All work papers are still in hard copy format, however, the firm is slowly moving towards electronic format.  This transition will be completed next year.
