Pros

Lots of smart young people working together in close quarters. I have many friends that I hope to keep with me for years to come. Some clients in my practice area are very smart.

Cons

I cannot think of worse leadership than Gerson Lehrman's. The CEO has never visited my office and the executives in my office give us new goals and objectives every month. HR doesn't seem to care about the employees and I'm not sure that anyone has a clue above my manager.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
