Pros

- Coming to work each day, I feel valued and appreciated by most. - Nice colleagues who are good at what they do - There is a significant focus on doing the right thing for the client. - While I always work much more than a 40 hour work week, I have flexibility allowing work-life balance when needed. - The firm is working hard to advance technologies in multiple areas. - Generous vacation policy

Cons

As a value-focused organization, back end systems are not ideal, making many tasks harder than they should be. Working at a partnership makes the road to approvals less clear than in many places with a more significant hierarchy. Not everyone is tech savvy enough to appreciate many of the new technology advances - change will take some time.
