Pros
- Outstanding reputation throughout the industry. It is undoubtably the most respected firm on Wall Street - The culture is the key to the firms ongoing success. It is conservative, collabroative, and instills a sense of pride within its employees that enables everyone to look forward to going to work each day - Sense of entitlement that exists in nearly all high caliber shops simply doesn't exist here. Everyone is on the same level, from the interns and co-op's to the upper and senior management. No one is better than anyone else and each person is respectively pertinent to the company's success and history - Class exudes from every employee; each is proud of their firm, their work, and is invested in the continued success. - The fact that the firm flys well under the radar allows it to do things that most firms of its size and nature can't do. You will never see an ad about Wellington and thats exactly how it should be. You don't see any WMC's "dirty laundry" in the Journal or on CNBC like many other top shops.
Cons
- Advancement is extremely difficult. Once you get into a spot, movement is difficult and stagnant. - Compensation is good, but could always be improved.
