Pros

They truly do have some great people here. Seems counterintuitive to the rest of this review.

Cons

Let's start w/ the ethics of how they get their reviews. They coerce their employees to write positive reviews to attract new talent. Literally, everyone there gets one telling them to write two reviews and if they don't like what you write, then you're fired. If you interview, ask them how many employees they have and do the math on how many employees they have. You'll quickly see that majority of those employees that gave them a 5 start review are no longer with them. Did they love it so much they left willingly? Honestly, I could go on about all of the other red flags, but I hope the first one is enough to dissuade anyone from applying. I was only there for a couple of weeks before I started looking elsewhere. The three months I was there before finding my next opportunity, they had fired close to 50% of the department's staff. Shortly after leaving they fired key accounting leadership. They'll pull you in with an attractive comp package and path to partnership. Don't expect to achieve either unless you're putting in 70 hours. Success here is defined by how long you sit in your office. I could go on about nuances like peculiar workplace norms (punishment is engrained in culture, no phones/computers in meetings, regular Saturday meetings are mandatory, cult-like quizzes on culture to kick off meetings), but I'm hoping the above is sufficient.

I am truly sorry that it did not work out here for you. I am not sure what spreading lies will accomplish though? We absolutely follow Glass Doors recommendation for asking associates to leave open and honest reviews yearly on what they believe the pros and cons are of working here. We have no idea nor any way of tracking who writes what as this is kept extremely confidential by Glass Door. And we most certainly have never fired anyone based on a review. We have unfortunately let people go for poor performance however, which could include attention to details especially in a Financial Analysis role. Kind of like stating you are a current employee but that you left after 3 months? Which is it? Morals or incompetence? I wish you nothing but the best, truly, and hope you find the right fit for you.

Pros

Fast-paced environment, strong compensation opportunities, talented teams, and a culture that rewards performance. If you are ambitious, competitive, and always want more, this could be the place for you.

Cons

The environment is demanding and not suited for everyone. Expectations are high, feedback is direct, and performance is closely measured. Employees who thrive on accountability, competition, and results will likely do well; those seeking a more traditional or less performance-driven workplace may find it is not the right fit.

We appreciate your feedback. We are the right place for ambitious, competitive associates who want to grow and be challenged. We’re proud to offer strong compensation opportunities and a culture that recognizes and rewards results. You’re right that our environment is demanding and not for everyone. We also appreciate your note around consistency and communication as we continue to grow!
