Pros

amazing people: top notch people from all walks of life steep learning curve: for first 1.5 years of 2 year associate career path broad resource network: many powerful research tools at your fingertips diverse portfolio of work: you can touch a lot of different industries at a high-level

Cons

crazy hours: depends mostly on the project leader you work for sometimes impossible tasks: the frustrating part can be the tight deadlines when the data isn't good no other problems worth mentioning

Pros

Everyone in there is highly intelligent and with very diversified backgrounds; you may find economics, mathematicians, philosophers, several type of engineers, administrators, etc ... There are several (like 20) guys with good salary and desire for party. Great salary packages and retributions. It opens your mind to many themes and you have a great networking. You may hear on the halls 4 different languages and with some luck you will be traveling to any part in the world. They have a special weekend for training were you go to a distant place and have fun and learning at the same time. They can sponsor a MBA program in a top 10

Cons

There are weeks that you work as hell, close to 120 hours a week for 2 or even 3 weeks in a row. There is not a real balance in your life, you live to work. As everyone is intelligent, the atmosphere may become a hard competition for a small bit of recognition. If your generation is a huge one there will be problems for the sponsorships for MBA. As you work worldwide you may have a pretty early call conference with Europe and then a pretty late on with Australia, so you work 20 hours and you cant move away from the office
