Pros

- amazing on-boarding plan when you start as a new associate - pretty well organised company - colleagues are extremely helpful and friendly (not only first impressions, they are consistently very approachable and they share the same values around the globe) - take your dog into the office - impressive training schemes and encouragement for personal development - benefits - the 5 Principles (you only realise how profound those principles are when you carry them with you after leaving the company) - modern office

Cons

- Unbearable workload (this mainly comes from the ambiguity of the job descriptions and a lot of delegation from your manager and side tasks coming on a regular basis - again, because the job descriptions are ambiguous and you are expected to do more than you should/could) - the promotions of associate colleagues come early and they look preferential - extremely political and entry-level management is particularly suspicious (they appear very focused on the next career move/promotion, delegate some of their responsibilities to the direct reports and take risky and bad decisions in order to advance themselves) - "talking the talk" - communication full of jargons, messages lack content and are prone to misinterpretation - a lot of stress and too much talking in the open space offices

Pros

Great Family Company with Five Principles that guide them. They provide opportunities to learn and grow

Cons

Referring to the need of change or adapt is a slow company. They bet for the long term.
