Pros

On the whole a good environment to work. Good people from good back grounds who want to do a good job for clients. Many well regarded names there.

Cons

Very odd culture within the management team especially in terms of cherry picking certain people for promotions when their performance/ knowledge base is shaky. Especially amongst selected girls (lots of nudges and winks about how this happens). If an MD wants to buy a new kitchen for the wife - that's you job gone. Weird but true. Heard strange stories of some girls having harassment issues, but MD's in question always kept jobs and girls kicked out a while later in one way or another. Names mentioned on the office floor. Really hope this isn't true or should be investigated by eternal professionals.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
