Pros

The firm attracts young talented people from around the world due to its strong presence on social media and creative office environment. This environment is largely the result of grassroots efforts from younger staff members. Despite the questionable working conditions, there is a sense of close-knit relationships among the staff, fostered by a shared experience of trauma bonding. This bond plays a significant role in why some individuals choose to remain with the company.

Cons

This firm can be characterized by challenges in professionalism, organization, and maturity. There is a disconnect between upper-level management and less experienced staff, leading to miscommunication and inconsistent decision-making that result in redundancy and overtime. The firm's rapid growth seems to lack strategic planning, as it expands into markets primarily targeting affluent clients. Despite its reputation as a progressive firm, there are resource shortages and concerns regarding the treatment of younger staff and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
