Pros

Working part time the schedule is flexible. Most employees get a free lunch.

Cons

Work environment is demeaning to low level employees, the office sometimes feels like a throwback to the 50s - few women in top level positions, administrative assistants definitely treated like "secretaries."

If you know the right people, its great. If not, hard work and effort mean nothing.

Pros

Smart people, good compensation, decent benefits. The firm likes and promotes a very edgy culture. They know how to make good deals and make money for the investors. The bankers are truly world class professionals. If you want to be in Private Equity or M & A, this is a great place for you.

Cons

Newish management in Finance has brought in a lot of people from a different firm who now run the place. People who were there before are being let go, overlooked for promotions, and have had their responsibilities moved to the newer people, leaving skilled people idle. If you aren't part of that club, you do not exist. Morale is low and although this has been brought to upper management and Human Resource's attention. The message is "leave if you don't like it." Communication from management is poor/nonexistent. Favoritism abounds and backstabbing is common. This used to be a place people were proud to say they worked. Not anymore.

Pros

Resume building, networking, job responsibilities

Cons

It's a very cut-throat environment where people are frequently thrown under the bus. You are expected to be working 24/7 and vacation is just working from home
