Pros

A good amount of vacation days offered at each level. Considering you would miss out 4 months of vacation time due to the busy session. The best thing this firm has is the people. The people are amazing to work with and most of these people are hardworking and would stay in public in the long run but the majority end up getting pushed out of the firm. The new CEO is probably the best leader among all partners. The new CEO has a work hard and rewards manner which keeps people motivated. HSA Health insurance cost is low which is a good thing, and the firm provides a match for HSA participants.

Cons

I worked here for over 5 years, so I have experience from multiple positions. This is only applicable for the Parsippany location. Horrible increases. You will get 5 or 6% if you perform well. You can get more in % increase but you will have to be one of the favorites. By far, this firm has the worst 401k plan where you will be vested after 5 years. 1% match with random one-time profit sharing of $500 to $700 contribution. This location’s HR is probably the worse. HR doesn’t resolve any schedule issues except they put teams in charge to figure out. You are better off getting help from NYC - HR office. This location has the worse issue out of all which is favoritism. You can see favoritism from HR to all way up to partners. If you are one of the favorites, you have it made here. When it comes to promotion, they have this odd tradition where a partner has to vouch for you, so you better get on a partner’s back if you want promotion. They won’t want to give you any screens for your desk, so people tend to steal them from the employees that reign. During most layoffs, minorities were laid off the most out of the whole layoff population. This location has no diversity whatsoever. One of the worst things HR does in this location, they book you in march for summer jobs so you can plan vacation. If you do plan vacation, you better plan around those jobs. I will not recommend anyone to work here.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
