Pros

Time off adds up quickly and good amount of sick days. You'll need to take them all because between the favoritism, management having no clue to what you're doing, to the mind numbing work, to the amount of people who kiss butt and are awful at their jobs, but are favorites its awful.

Cons

Management consistently lies to your face and tears you like an idiot child. They lie about big and small things and the management who are the true idiots can't keep their stories straight so when got talk to a co worker you have a different version. They recently fired someone who worked their for around 25 years who made 6 figures. They told half the people she was fired the other half she left. She had like 35 days off a year and a huge severance package and supplied health insurance for her family but yeah she quit. In addition to the above and what's in the pros, All benefits besides time off is awful. Pay is below the industry. Office is always cold, yes it's cold in the winter and cold in the summer.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
