Pros
Perks and comp are top of the street - AS1's cleared $400-450k, $35 for dinner and $30 for lunch, no frugality around drinks/ dinners on the firm's dime, well funded summer outings and holiday parties
Cons

Taubman successfully brought in his entire leadership team from when he was the head of Morgan Stanley's Investment Banking Division
