Pros

It feels a bit like a start-up with great upsides with that situation if you have an entrepreneurial spirit. You’re able to make a difference, be heard and part of the growth of the firm. Benefits, mentorship, wonderful colleagues, experience

Cons

Growing pains, leadership is busy and can be myopic. They do try hard to make it a best in class firm. Grateful to work here through the pandemic.

Pros

The people here and those that choose to come, or friendly, collegial, and fun to work with. This is truly a learning environment. My colleagues have deep expertise and I learned every day. Oxygen to my brain.

Cons

The work and timelines can be intense - but sometimes that's the nature of client service and the business we are in.

Pros

I happened to be on a good team with good managers who hire well. The whole team works well together, expectations are generally set to fit everyone well, and tasks are assigned as such. The work is also quite interesting most of the time and we get opportunities to explore new work streams.

Cons

Low visibility between stakeholders and normal employees, specifically the private equity that owns the firm. This makes it difficult to understand many of the top-down decisions made and makes the whole review/raise cycle extremely weird. Every year someone asks management why there is such a long delay between reviews and promotions/raises along with no transparency surrounding raise decisions.
