Pros

You get to work with a lot of nice and smart people. In order to thrive in this environment though, you must be willing to change course at the drop of a hat or become available whenever a stakeholder or leader demands something (night, day, weekend, or even during PTO or a holiday). You must be able to stroke egos and play politics. If these are things you enjoy, you'll really like working here.

Cons

There is too much bureaucracy. Everyone just bows down to those in high leadership roles and to powerful attorneys. Beware of this top-down fear-mongering culture. Management likes to act like work is a matter of life and death when in reality they just place inexplicable significance on insignificant matters.

Free lunch and snack bar

Cons

Some offices have awful open layouts and cubicle like associate seating. I also experienced a lot of turnover and instability under the new CEO.
