Pros

- Opportunity to move up in the organization without going to B school - Higher ups generally care a lot about the juniors - George is a legend and still has lunch with everyone in the big dining hall a few times a week - The waitstaff is amazing - Everyone is friendly.

Cons

- A lot of politics, so you have to deal with a lot of fake people and going for coffees with people and pretending you like them. - Talent dilution; newer hires have generally been poor decisions and there's a few partners that stumbled in the right role.

Free food. The list of positives ends there.

Absolute dumpster fire. No direction, no organization, and no clear path forward. It was an incredibly frustrating experience from the start
