Business Outlook
Pros
Very prestigious firm, looks great on any resume. You learn a lot, fast. The people are top notch, all very bright. The pay is good, if you last a few years. Great benefits, the profit sharing is amazing. The people are generally very nice--compared to wall street, these guys are much less cocky and obnoxious.
Cons
Very competitive environment. If you don't progress quickly in the eyes of managers, you are fired. The hours and lifestyle are difficult. The traveling scheduling is intense, despite what they tell you during recruiting, you will travel a lot. They talk a good game about feedback, but in reality many managers don't give honest assessments of your work until its too late.
