      It is a tough place to work, so you need to make a decision about your priorities.

      Pros

      Coworkers are intelligent and hard working. Compensation for similar level positions seems fair. Sometimes the right people are recognized with promotions.

      Cons

      Management continues to raise the bar for employee performance measurement, while not growing staff with the increasing demands on employees. Requests for help with staffing are ignored. People are overworked and under-appreciated, and obvious candidates for promotions are overlooked. Impossible to balance work and life, particularly if you are interested in spending any quality time with your family.

      Just like any bulge bracket firm now - no growth opportunities for career development.

      Pros

      Pay is more than reasonable, especially for employees in zero-risk-taking positions. Most people are easy to get a long with.

      Cons

      Firm is dominated by 3rd and 4th tier managers which leads to horrible group dynamics and growth. Most managers are legacy employees that would not make it anywhere else.
