Pros

The co-workers were great Flex hours were nice. Better study hours for actuarial exams compared to most consulting companies

Cons

Favored more toward experienced hires than new hires Easy to get pigeonholed into one type of work After a while, work boils down to routine tasks Bonus is based on company performance, then office performance, then number of billable hours. You could be the highest billable hour employee, but not see the full benefit of the bonus due to office performance. Raises are based on actuarial exam progress, so no reward for high billable hours.
