Pros

- Work on big deals with blue-chip clients - Lots of deal experience - Good exits

Cons

- Zero expectation of work life balance - Taking PTO discouraged - Managers are extremely opaque with expectations and will berate you if you mess up something as small as cc'ing people in the wrong order on an email - Certain groups have near zero racial diversity - Firm touts "culture" but only culture is binge drinking and overwork
