Business Outlook

Pros

Work with smart, committed, and engaging professionals at a widely respected firm with a solid, global presence. Positive company culture. Love the fact that the guy who started the firm in1984 is still CEO and works in a cubicle. No ivory towers or executive washrooms here. Benefits are above average, especially health care, sabbatical, and work-life balance.

Cons

You'll make 20% less doing your job here than if you worked at a standard financial firm, but your life here is your own. Flat organization means limited opportunities for advancement.
