Business Outlook
Pros
A lot of very bright, talented and nice people work here. Great work/life balance with extra fridays off. Beautiful SF office space.
Cons
Big firm, stodgy, very political. Very inconsistent quality control. Tends to have an "assembly line" mentality, which may appear to be efficient but definitely not a good place to learn or advance a career. About twenty people have been laid off this past year. Management has not officially acknowledged any of these layoffs. Everything is heard through the grapevine. No "thank you we wish him/her well." Communication, among many other things, is quite lacking.
