Pros

Great firm to work for.

Cons

I did not think I would use Glassdoor for help but this is the only way to share concerns for hopefully executives to listen. There are genuine issues in IT, including a very toxic culture, complete control at the top, favoritism, no collaboration and more. No one will admit it but we are behind our peers when it comes to strategies processes and platforms in IT. The employees don’t want to leave Ares because it is a great firm. We have been patiently waiting for the feedback that we have shared with the leader and HR to be taken seriously but nothing is happening and we are very worried. We are slowly losing employees and ask that please put your employees first and stop defending and perpetuating the main problem.

Pros

Nice office space, pleasant environment, friendly and team oriented coworkers, adequate pay and bonuses, decent benefits, free gym on premises.

Cons

Poor human resources department. Was not happy with the way the management of the administrative staff was handled. It seemed the person in charge was more concerned with impressing the C-Level executives rather than addressing the issues and concerns of those employees lower down on the food chain.
