Pros

Excellent working environment and overall learning experience. Incredible to be a part of such an impressive team. Very stimulating 2 and a half years of my life.

Cons

The hours are often awful. All-nighters are to be expected. There is also quite an unbalance between working in main offices, such as NY or London and working in smaller offices such as Rome which should not exist since the clients and cases are often the same.
