Pros

Cons
The office itself is a disgusting mess, old and worn, with decades-old furniture (and an awful, teeny tiny cafeteria buried in the bowels of the building) Management seems to shoot from the hip, hiring and firing on a whim without regard for the long-term repercussions and without strategic thought as to the direction of the markets The firm is siloed like none I have ever seen. If you are in the X department, expect not to know or see anyone from any other department except for those few that you might interact with out of necessity (e.g., the specialists) The firm has lost its brand cachet, though they don't seem to acknowledge that fact There is a complete lack of cohesiveness to the firm, from the aforementioned siloed model to a lack of firmwide social events. Oh, and everyone keeps their door closed.
