Pros

- Fantastic CEO - Strong people-oriented culture - Truly collaborative - not just lip service - Management of COVID crisis has been exceptional - Lots of opportunity to grow and learn - high performing and a much more supportive environment than other peer firms - in my opinion

Cons

- Need to invest more and formalize employee training & development - this is starting to happen with the new elevated HR team, but employees would benefit from more of it - It's a growing firm which can pose challenges for work-life balance. Leadership has been increasingly focused on making this more of a priority though and even did meeting-free Friday afternoons this summer, which was great

Pros

- Excellent culture - Strong team - Experienced, intelligent colleagues and opportunity for exposure across the hierarchy and business lines - Rapid growth

Cons

- as it gets larger it loses the essence that tied the teams together when smaller - acquisitions result in culture anomalies and no real fit
