Pros
Highly motivated staff, great opportunities for promotion and professional growth.
Cons
The LA office has grown tremendously and there is some lack of strategy to manage that growth in a responsible way. Titles that current employees earned are being handed out like candy to new employees walking in the door. There is an obvious disconnect between some of the long term employees and the new ones, part of that is due to the lack of standards and company culture in this particular office. Too much work and not enough staff to do the work was causing some to feel burned out and think about leaving the firm as I did. I also understand that salaries are out of whack due to a tight employment market causing new employees to have higher salaries than existing employees that have more experience.
