      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive/generous salary & good benefits Work with really smart people who (outside of work roles) are quite decent people Aspirational values of truth & transparency, when actualized, are quite powerful It is incredible to actually have the time to understand myself better and talk through challenging topics openly

      Cons

      Extremely corporate, bureaucratic, slow moving, and -- to be blunt -- uninspiring Culture felt brutal and unnecessarily unkind, and definitely leaves scars. I learned a lot about my weaknesses, but don't feel like I had the support to actually evolve as a leader. In a struggling/shrinking stage of its lifecycle, with little opportunity for internal growth or mobility Behind the times on many important topics such as diversity and inclusion Handled layoffs very poorly. Though they espouse "meaningful relationships," this is not consistent with how the firm operates.
