Pros

Significant scale and resources. Generally good team ethic. Very interesting part of private equity to work in. A very good place to learn a wide range of skills (e.g I came from a restructuring background but colleagues worked in FDD, CDD and banking previously)

Cons

Top-heavy organisation which leads to unintended consequences like competition for junior resources
