Pros
good brand name, decent PTO, good volunteer opportunities. finally a focus on tech improvements
Cons
they actively work to stunt junior staff's career growth, a byproduct of the incredibly stuffy culture. you must have an MBA to advance in any capacity. top line management is essentially deaf to the needs, no matter how basic, of anyone below them. compensation is so significantly lower than the market rate it's a bit laughable. The firm runs so unbelievably lean that everyone is overworked, understaffed, and underpaid by wide margins. Turnover is insane but nothing changes to address any of the issues that are raised - a strategy that is sure to fail much sooner rather than later. Also, PMs and EVPs are treated like gods so if you're not there, expect little to no attention from management.
