Pros
Deal teams are small so you get exposed to all aspects of a deal and if you take the initiative can get involved in things way beyond your pay grade quickly. This applies to both the direct responsibilities of the role and other things like deal origination and networking on behalf of the firm.
Cons
Does not have the professionalism or service quality of a top four firm or investment bank, where I have also worked. It could be a good starting point for a transition in M&A from Audit, Assurance or a DD team. I would not go as a grad because they do not support them anywhere near as well as big four firms.
