Pros
compensation and benefits were good, but if you're not former military, a suck-up, or a partner's kid, you won't go very far up the ladder.
Cons
Haven't seen a more insecure bunch of people since high school, but maybe they have reason to be? In my Division, there was one female Sr. Associate who basically ran the committee that performed everyone's annual reviews. While the other members of the committee were expected to be replaced approx. every two years, a charter member, she'd been on it for at least eight years! How's that for objectivity?? If she liked you, you were golden. If not, she basically ran her own private mafia (she’s actually Sicilian, too). Her undergrad degree isn't even in anything remotely related to business - it's in theater, but then, she's a great actress.
