Pros

Competitive environment and clients, high-skilled colleagues. Very good place to actually learn a lot through intensive practice. If you are lucky, you will be exposed to the top-tier transactions and great clients.

Cons

Forget about meaningful management, sometimes - your work/life balance will be really bad, and career growth will really depend on who you work with and what the overall market conditions are. Compensation - not very competitive.
