Pros
Great opportunity to work in global organization. High-value brand adds "wow" factor to resume. There are some hidden gems and good mentors scattered throughout the organization.
Cons
Incredibly stressful and politically charged environment is often very distracting and demoralizing, particularly in recent years. While the firm attempts to adopt best practices such as People First, a good bit is window dressing and is neither embedded in, nor sustained, within the corporate culture. VERY inconsistent across country and area practices. The Fortune listing is worked by management, with those who are randomly tapped to provide feedback receiving calls from Management "urging" them to appreciate the importance of their comments in the process. A tad intimidating to say the least! Life-work balance receives a lot of attention, but at the end of the day it really is not incentivized.
