Pros

good benefits - wellness center - cafeteria. Smart people, name is good for résumé.

Cons

Horrible environment/culture, cliquish, snobby, condescending, cut-throat, unhappy and over-worked employees. Unless you have a connection to someone in upper mgmt don't expect to be treated w dignity. Smart but stupid - inflated egos that won't allow for self reflection on their improvement. Employes are not their best assets as proclaimed. Spare yourself of this cult-like culture. Run if you can and don't look back.

Pros

The caliber of people is the real reason you stay. Even after years here, I regularly sit in rooms with colleagues who are genuinely brilliant and, more importantly, generous with their time.

Cons

Bureaucracy and layers of process have grown as the firm has scaled, which can slow decisions.
