Pros

High salary on par with the market, otherwise none

Cons

The company lacks direction, leadership, and morals. Junior staff are consistently worked 14-16 hour days out of fear of waves at will firing with no improvement plans or warning, not based on performance but on political and tribal connections. It starts from the top with partners only looking out for their own self interest and acting immorally (internally sharing confidential competitor information and demanding junior staff to claim days worked as sick days to improve project budgets). Needless to say this seeps into the broader culture of the firm with analysts starting to think that this behavior is normal and “just how it’s done.” There is no sense of community, coaching, or comradery, everyone is simply looking out for themselves. Staffing is entirely unempowered and work depends entirely on social and political connections to partners. Do not put your career at stake by coming here.
