      Awesome team members but management is inept.

      Pros

      Many of my colleagues are spot on some of the best in the business, and I've learned some significant life lessons from them. The compensation is spot on given the job but the clawback on bonuses is kind of bullsh!t

      Cons

      There are many more in management that seem to have the skill set of a toddler and many times they sound like a toddler when they don't get their way. There really isn't a path for personal or professional growth, it's as if they use you for two years and toss you to the curb like this weeks recycling.

      Pros

      You were treated as a partner/owner of the firm. Was a great place to work at one time. The place was truly a great place to work. The management was hands on and always made you feel important. Compensation was fair and everyone was generous. The CEO called you on your birthday! Every year! believe it.

      Cons

      New management brought a different feeling...just a number. Keep your head down...

      A so-called “Best Place to Work” three years in a row -- Really?

      Pros

      They like to hire people from top firms. So it is easy to negotiate for a large salary hike when you join. But don’t expect too much afterward. Working hours are decent.

      Cons

      The cash bonus clawback policy was supposed to apply to all, but some seniors get away with that, and leaving the lower level employees have to pay back when they leave. If you leave, you will have to pay back your last years bonus! Your direct manager reviews your emails, Bloomberg chats, and internal chat system every week. They like to outsource a lot of functions (not just those typical ones that are widely known). You won’t be surprised if one day they tell you that you will continue to do what you do, but no longer their employees.
