Pros

Mission oriented culture High degree of collaboration Client centric mentality Strong coaching to people managers. I learned my best habits from the care and time coaching of leadership skills. Great hidden benefits (401k, partnership, health subsidies)

Cons

Managers matter. Networking matters. Myopia can set in for those that only get an inside-out view. Slow to decision making.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
