Pros

Colleagues with amazing talent to learn from.

Cons

Management is inconsistent with what they say to employees. There is no security of your job. Overworked like no other company, I've been to. Brokers needs are the only priority.

Pros

One of the most professional and best organizations in the world...until now

Cons

Layoffs...convoluted heirarchy system...cliquish...and to top it all off - No Christmas party! Is this is how we keep the morale of hardworking carpenters?

Pros

Haven't been forced in the office for over a year. The vacation package isn't terrible

Cons

Very corporate, very political, instead of caring about what you do to advance the team goals, you are told to sell yourself to other teams to get recognized outwardly. Lots of attitude towards people lower than VP from people higher than VP. They hire tons of upper management that don't really do much and leave the people doing the work unsupported and overworked. They don't invest in young people's careers, everyone in management is a middle aged white man. They talk about diversity and do nothing to actually get there. They talk about inclusivity and do nothing to be inclusive. It's all just buzzing to try to make people think they are doing good in the world. They aren't. They also don't give raises above inflation (typically lower than 3-4%), so if you plan for staying longer than a year make sure you get a pay rate you can live on for a while. They say you'll get a 401k match but it only fully vests after 5 years in the company. Don't waste 5 years at this place.
