For the money
Pros: If you stick  around and work hard, the pay goes up substantially in the senior ranks.  If you demonstrate that you can sell, you are on track for a leadership position, potentially partnership, which is where the real $$$ comes.
Cons: Can be very bureaucratic and hierarchical.  . The internal processes are stifling and a real drag on the ability to sell and deliver work, which is what you have to do if you want to advance.  There is a huge pool of internal support staff and yet basic functions (recruiting, staffing, contracts, finance) are horribly inadequate.  The result is a massive overhead (2.5x to 3.0x wrap on salary) without the benefits of a big corporate engine.  This forces us to try to sell on value that may or may not be there.  Very challenging, but we are doing it.
