Pros

Nice office. Awesome lunch program.

Cons

Everything else. Specifically management. They fire/push out the door all of the talent and it shows. Promotions go to the most political butt kissers, while the best have their ideas stolen and then fired. Oh and remember the time they didn't even know about the gas trades that lost them a ton of money? There went the New York and London office. Not to mention rampant racism and sexism in management. Hands down the worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

High-potential, high-caliber, low-ego environment. The people at the firm really embody the broader culture of the business. There is a cohesive plan that flows from the board level down to the day-to-day work each employee does. There is also a conscious effort to develop talent, which I really appreciate.

Cons

it's a culture led firm so by nature not a fit for everyone.
