Pros

It's a world-class company, well respected in the industry. All my coworkers were smart, dedicated, and easy to get along with.

Cons

Pay can be on the low side if you aren't front office. It used to be more entrepreneurial but as it grew through acquisitions things got much more bureaucratic. Promotion process is too formulaic and procedural. Work-life balance is very poor, everyone is expected to work long hours all the time. So it's a good fit if you don't have a family, or don't like being around them.
