Pros

Lots of smart people. Work is strategic and very interesting. Lots of flexibility on work schedule - allow working from home, coming in late, etc.

Cons

Compensation curve is very flat with underperformers and overachievers treated similarly. Not a lot of long term financial upside. Senior management's sole focus is expense control and will eliminate small benefits that yield high employee satisfaction just to save a couple of dollars. Workdays can be long and demanding with intense focus on billable hours
