Pros

Comp is good. It's a consensus organization with a huge weight put on who you know, but the people are all very helpful and open to questions or those seeking advice. There is good work-life balance.

Cons

There is little in the way of career support but the environment does encourage "self-starters" to move up within the organization. The lack of employee ownership options for many below the Managing Director level is a severe limitation.
