      Pros

      Smart people, good products, great benefits, good pay if you are among the "in"s

      Cons

      Performance and reward don't seem to always go hand-in-hand. The jokes around the firm were the like of "Speak the truth as long as it's what they want to hear", or "Brown nosing is the favorite sport"...
