Pros

The best reason: 4 weeks of vacation, even for junior-level employees. Being a large firm, there are opportunities for mobility.

Cons

Occasional (unpredictable) long hours, though this is probably more specific to my particular group. Salaries are lower than the competition. (More salary-based and less total-comp-based than other firms.)

Advice to Management

I would advise management to be more aggressive in retaining key people. We have had a slow bleed of people leaving the firm for higher salaries elsewhere.
