      Pros

      Compensation is above average. High performance is rewarded. Projects are generally diverse and interesting.

      Cons

      A subgroup of senior staff ganged up to bully, gaslight, and spread false rumors about me. It was an extremely abusive workplace, where 12 hour workdays all week were apparently not enough to be considered a hard worker. There was no way for me to report my treatment to a higher power, and those that I did confide in did not believe me. The cultural rot seems to go all the way to the Partner level. Either that, or they gladly turn a blind eye as long as the perpetrators of abuse keep the money coming in. Leaving this company was the best thing I ever did.

      Pros

      -Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

      Cons

      -Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
