Pros

The company values it's employees. They have respect for what you like to do outside of the office and have tried to put policies in place to ensure a good work life balance. There is great opportunity for advancement. I like my co-workers. I feel that my opinion is heard and that the partner group is willing to listen to new ideas and comments. I feel I am fairly compensated for my work.

Cons

Offices are typically small and you will find the small office politics can get annoying at times. We lack some of the technology of the larger firms.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
