Pros

Lots of great people. Many excellent client relationships. Working aggressively to address failing cost structure. Finally beginning to fully embrace 21st century approaches to areas like professional development and marketing - these were sorely lacking until recently.

Cons

Firms invests significantly in management and professional development programming, which make it all the more obvious when the senior team exhibits (frequently) all the behaviors that both internal and external resources preach against. Historically, this firm completely embraces a "yes" culture - senior management hates bad news. Most employees fear raising important, sensitive topics anyplace other than offsite over coffee with a close colleague.
