Pros

The security, the talent pool, the focus on the client experience, always striving for improvement

Cons

Out of touch very high-earning leadership structure, countless sudden/shoe-horned promotions of favorites to leadership that arent widely advertised, inconsistent principles and best practices for department structure, no accountability to ensure practices/processes are universally used (and liked by those who use), too slow to respond to obvious systemic issues like resourcing and profitability issues; generally feeling of hardworking plugged-in minions and out of touch, waiting to retire wealthy and not-rock-the-boat leadership

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, benefits, free access to hbr articles, the Harvard name

Cons

Extreme disfunction. Every senior leaders opinion matters so that’s 10 different stakeholders you have to account for. Sr leaders are turning more into a mafia than actual leaders. Toxic workplace filled with politics.
