Pros

Nice salary for entry-level role, work experience is good for resume (recruiters reach out all the time with positions), and some of the people you work with are great

Cons

- There is a lot of favoritism causing people whom the manager's and partners favorite to get promoted faster and be on the better clients. - There is a lack of work-life balance during busy season for employee's whom have many projects. - There is an inequality in amount of work spread to employees: some people work 80 hours a week and others work 35 hours a week - There is an expectation that you don't take vacation during busy season, however, if you're a senior associate and above - feel free to take multiple weeks off during the busiest time of year. - There is a lot of hostility in the workplace and i don't care for the way some people treat me. Note: I know there are a lot of negative points, and your probably wondering why i still work here. Basically, i am still an employee waiting to be promoted so i can leave and find a company that actually cares and has a quality work-life balance.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
