Pros

You are an individual rather than a number, cosy, flexible - strong regional presence. Very nice bunch, the associates and support staff.

Cons

Politics and in-fighting. Fragmented profit-centres means: (i) offices compete rather than cooperate with one another, (ii) mediocrity thrives due to politics - and competence suffers. Also, limited career progression.

Excellent culture of friendship, collaboration, and interesting projects to work on

Significant workload, often stretched thin due to understaffing. Slow to hire additional team members.
