Pros

The benefits at this place are fabulous. Most of the people are fun to be around (except a few who are not from the United States). Free lunch, massages, gym membership, stocked fridge all are very nice.

Cons

The issue here is management and communications. Both are missing and this is a well known fact but nothing is or will be done. The partnership is very dysfunctional so nothing really gets done and people take matters in their own hands. Very dysfunctional and badly run place in Chicago and around the world. The owners should bring in professional help and not use political partners to guide them on how to manage. The whole model is to bring in college grads who replace the older people. This revolving door mentality where you can never make a career by staying at IMC (because you will be fired once they find a college grad) is one of the worst I have ever experienced.
