Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

No work life balance regardless of what they sell you up front
Pros: Great place to start your career
Lots of great opportunities for diverse experiences if you get the chance and don't mind working long hours
Given lots of responsibilities at low levels
Cons: Long work hours - required to work "overtime" just as status quo
Nights and weekends are PwC's for the taking, work/life balance doesn't exist. People that claim work/life balance are internal firm services or are workaholics that see Sunday's off as a true benefit. 
Health care benefits are dismal. Much better at other places
Compensation is below average when you consider the number of hours required
You are placed where they want you to go. As an experienced hire they tell you that you are being hired for a unique skill set, but at the end of the day good luck getting to utilize it unless you're lucky enough to land a project that requires it.
