Pros

Prestigious name but also tied with abuses, so I guess not much of a "pro".

Cons

There were no effective systems set in place to help the team or individuals on the team yet, employees were expected to essentially kill themselves for perfection. There was no appetite for mistakes and learning from mistakes. The team had cliques where people who had been on the team longer were closer to each other. Newer members were not as close. Unlimited time off meant no time off. Lack of trust on the team, lack of clear direct communication or transparency. Overall horrific environment for mental health.

Pros

1. The executive leaders in the firm are doing a great job 2. Many people in the firm genuinely have a sense of pride working there 3. The (base) compensation is compatible with the market; bonus, however, is another story. 4. For the first ten years of my career in the firm, I made some great memories and made some great friends.

Cons

The culture of my organization started to shift away from a sensible approach and career nurturing to a hostile and confrontational one around 2 years ago. In several all-hands meetings, we were chastised for being "too nice" and were made clear that things would change. The anonymous feedback in the meetings was cut short or eliminated entirely because it didn’t paint a positive picture. In the last 2 years, 1. I was often asked and expected to answer, "Now.. what can you do for me?" in my 1:1 with my latest manager. 2. I was reminded more than once that English is my second language 3. I was reminded more than once by the manager that I should not speak during the meetings I was invited to because they weren’t in the right timing or not appropriate to the subject being discussed during the time There were many of these examples in the last two years with the firm that just seemed inconceivable; nevertheless, I had a great ride and met some genuine people that I consider friends even today.
