Pros: Great competitive atmosphere as well as incredibly smart coworkers.  The company holds very high expectations of each individual thus this job trains you well for others to come. You get to work with the top companies of each industry and it is a great experience as a result. Compensation is very competitive, but often times that is all that you can hold on to. The timely performance reviews also are helpful in keeping you on track.
Cons: Life outside work is almost non-existent when a minimum work week requires 75 hours, and you are working 90+ hours during high season. When I was working there I would have all three meals by myself at the desk, and offices tend to be dead quiet so this isn't for everyone.
