Pros
Nice staff and good location. Interesting work with interesting clients. Open office concept, works for some not others, but I liked it.
Cons
Listen, I read the Glassdoor reviews prior to starting and thought that it couldn't be as bad as some of the negatives lead you to believe. But I have found that to be true. I do also agree that their internal HR team is adding the positive reviews and anytime someone in NYC says that the only negative is the commute, is lying to you. The office is less than 10 blocks from Grand Central and a few subway stops from Port Authority and Penn. My commute couldn't have been easier. HR/recruitment team will tell you anything to get you to sign on. Anything. If it sounds too good to be true or even close to that, just know it isn't true. This isn't a flashy start-up with a fun office like Google. The firm has lost a lot of major casework in recent months. There have been some layoffs and there is very little money here. A word of advice, negotiate yourself a bonus, or you will not receive one. The executives do get bonuses and will then look you in the eyes and tell you that business was down. Growth in salary and position is highly unlikely. But executives will get new responsibility with major bumps in salary while they dump more work on lower levels with no thought to compensation, and when it's brought up you are harassed for asking or possibly placed on PIP. When you approach the HR team, they are not able to assist, as they are powerless and unable or afraid to talk to executives. Remember, this is a family business and you are not a member of the family. I am not angry with the company and would not consider myself disgruntled, just realize there are other places to do this same work and get rewarded for it.
