      Pros

      Very prestigious, high quality work, flexible working environment.

      Cons

      Long hours and irrationally short turnaround times. Some deals that would take 6 weeks at other firms are done in 48 hours at Kirkland because they are afraid to tell their clients "no". Some jerks.
