Pros

Access to projects If you are a associate you will have tremendous responsibility because the folks hire up won't be there for input.

Cons

Company culture changed when it went public from valuation firm to accounting firm. MD's who were not smart enough to carry their own weight or bring in decent business. MD's looked out only for themselves when company went public Company suffered when they change income generation from Associates with MBA's from top schools to Associates barely out of college with no experience. No diversity.

Pros

It can give interns their first glimpse into Fortune 500 client work. One of the few opportunities that directly seeks after political science students.

Cons

I had a terrible experience with most managers. They had a tendency to openly question the intelligence and professional capabilities of interns; mind you, undergraduate and graduate students, which is the worst thing for someone in that stage to hear. When I pushed back on a manager who questioned my intellectual ability to do analytical work, I was labeled as combative and almost fired. As a result of my vocality, certain managers pretended like I didn't exist to them, something I still find traumatic in hindsight this day. I know other interns and externs were also openly told they didn't have the intellectual ability to perform their work at a high level.
