Pros

I wanted a place to learn some basics and this was it.

Cons

They grind you up and beat you down to exceed billing minimums. Onboarding process in SF is weak. CEO is known as adept only at taxes, not with people. People just smile at him and listen to him held captive, because he is the CEO. Then they shake their heads. Technology falls drastically behind their competitors. Rumors about the longevity of the firm swirl. Older MDs are sorely out of touch. Younger MDs were promoted very quickly, some say too quickly.

Pros

Free lunch during busy season

Cons

Very cliquey. Very dependent upon each manager and partner. Some partners were great, but others were rude/condescending/only cared about profits and chargeability. Company is growing very fast and rewards those who will work their life away
