Pros

A lot of genuinely great people there, and the amenities on the main campus are great.

Cons

Not catered to younger professionals. They won't take you seriously as a younger person, and you'll start to see gray in your hair before you feel like you're really being compensated for your talent and expertise, in my opinion. It's not a place that you want to stay for more than 3 years. Just get your experience and leave for another institution that'll really appreciate your talent and experience. There aren't a lot of opportunities for younger professionals, especially LEAD associates, to advance into. And if there are, you might be gaslit into believing that a position somehow aligns with your future goals and interests. You'll see your peers get leapfrogged over you, which happens in every organization, but for one as tight-knit as this, you'll see that the favoritism can happen way more often than usual. They tend to place LEAD associates into a box, and steer them towards a position that you yourself don't want.
