- mostly friendly and intelligent people - good work and life balance (depends on projects and which function you are)

Cons

- favouritism, incompetent people get promoted because they play the game; unfair and not transparent appraisal process; people are not promoted based on merit - partners building clubs, you are either in or out; -haven't had a good year since I can remember; cost cutting and pay cut

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
