Not equal opportunity for all

Pros

Pay and benefits are very good overall. Great location and facilities, fancy parties if that interests you. Smart, driven team.

Cons

Advancement opportunities and certain benefits are not extended to all. For example, tuition reimbursement only for management which they won't tell you on their website. Buddy system is definitely in play, frineds of firm get paid a lot to do little and are given most recognition. Cut-throat atmosphere, mistakes are NOT tolerated and they show no loyalty to employees at all. Gossipy, back-stabbing environment. CEO's are out of touch with the rank and file employees.

Pros

Company believes in hiring the best of the best, managing risk, and limiting waste. Senior Management emphasizes on value of collaboration and team work. If you work for a small team, it should be innovative and fun.

Cons

It grew too fast. Too much friction and competitivity between employees steals them from focusing on the firm goal: May the firm and everyone make money. The environment is now reminiscent of High School: The bullies, the jocks, the chearleaders, the geeks, etc... Arrogance and illusion of being the best (Egomania) are alarmingly high.

Pros

Great facilities and good pay, benefits. Smart and experienced people

Cons

The company grew too fast and they picked up a lot of dead weight. The management made sudden brash decisions. You could walk in one morning and find you're suddenly part of a new team. Turn over rate is high. Decisions are made uneducated and without consultation.
