Pros

Access to online training. Good life/work balance in the summer months. Snacks in the office.

Cons

The firm paid me a $4k annual bonus at a mid-senior level, which is ridiculous in this industry. The company also doesn't value its employees - I was laid off due to reduction in headcount right in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak, which left me without insurance and income in such difficult time. I never received any coaching, I had a formal coach, however, he never discussed my performance with me. The company isn't really interested in your development, I was invited to teach financial modeling at an educational center, however, my SMD told me that I should not do that "at my level". No real collaboration between groups and segments, no teamwork. Lack of projects

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and an impressive roster of clients and projects. * Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across multiple business segments. * Exposure to a fast-paced environment that provides significant professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
