      Pros

      Nice people, if in sales quality of life pretty good. In other dept PM, Research it is horrible

      Cons

      Complete disconnect on who does the work and who gets rewarded. Everything is sales driven. Can't sell, don't bother coming in. Comp well below market. Mass exodus already starting as upper management benchmarks raises at 1-2% as the firm is growing 15-20% in revenue and profits per year

      -Great state of the art facilities. Update with all the technology. -Everyone in the client services group is a people person (These are sales guys) -Free drinks and coffee

      Cons

      -Management is horrible and do no treat some of their employees right. This was multiple managers -There are tons of favoritism. -Culture is much different from Austin to Santa Monica Office. -There was a clear HR violation in regards to pay and VP said it was just how it is. HR found out and there were no violations said.
