Pros

Was a great place a long time ago

Cons

Sotheby’s used to be a masterpiece; now it’s just a forgery living off its reputation from over 5 years ago. Leadership is more interested in enriching themselves with share options than serving clients (let alone balancing employee morale), and ‘career growth’ here is about as rare as an undiscovered Picasso. If you value culture, innovation, or even very basic honesty, decency and integrity, this place isn’t it. Sotheby’s might have been a great name, but under this management, it’s about as valuable as an NFT.

Pros

You get to understand the various sub art markets and which auction houses are able to better sell an artist or style.

Cons

Not enough pay. It's miniscule.
