Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Learn a lot, work with great people, but be prepared for long hours and frustrating red tape
Pros: - The people
- Exposure to a global organization

The firm does a lot to support its people intiatives and puts a huge investment in training and development, as well in the feedback and review process.
Cons: - The hours
- Low pay compared to competitors
- Bureaucracy

The people are the biggest asset to the firm and I think that the firm does a lot to recruit and retain it's CLIENT SERVING staff.  If you work in core business services (internal support staff), you must be willing to have the attitude of serving the client-servers to the point of neglecting your own development.  I think that this is being improved upon, but again, expectations and career paths are different for obvious reasons since internal is overhead and client-serving is revenue generating.

Overall, a great place to work, but you will need to seek out your own opportunities unless you are lucky to work with influential partners.
