Pros

Great people, culture of hard work and vigorous debate, and collegial environment. The firm does not take itself overly seriously. I began my career here and have no regrets. Overall, this is an excellent place to work and I would highly recommend it.

Cons

Work can be, at times, all consuming for junior people. Sometimes there is not really an appreciation for work-life balance. This is to be expected in the industry and certainly it is no worse here than at many other places. The experience and learning are worth it.

Pros

Big Company with lots of perks, They have a gym, they have a good cafe and an in house barista.

Cons

Know this going in: you are expendable, and loyalty here runs one way. Your job can be gone for any reason, at any time — stellar reviews won't save you. All it takes is some office-politics nonsense and suddenly you're out, no job, no benefits. They will also work you into the ground. On call 24/7. And do not kid yourself — HR is not your friend. They make plenty of promises they never keep, and they'll smile at you while they get ready to cut you loose. Bottom line: squirrel away your money and build a cushion, because they will throw you away the moment it suits them.
