It's entirely what you can make of it... but you'll experience political and personal roadbumps along the way.
Pros: - Experience (absolutely contingent on your effort and interest).
- Internal networking (critical for movement, learning and value adding).
- Learning upper management skills early (beyond your core skills, you'll accrete sales, proposals, pitching, personal brand management, up-and-down management skills).
- Very occasionally you'll work with a rising star who'll bring invaluable guidance your career - you must make the most of these people.
Cons: - Firm/Partnership structure makes it a meritocracy which can turn political.
- Salary compression by top leaders (excused by leaders as the cost of better experience).
- High turnover of your network and teams as they pursue greener pastures.
- It will take about a year to orient yourself in the organisation.
- Favouritism perpetuates a 'star' culture, increasing your competition.
