Pros

Great benefits; generous time off. Beautiful offices and location in DC. Great opportunities to connect with others, and in office events. Would work there again in a heart beat.

Cons

My experience was with my director leadership and micro managing. Overall I do not believe this is a common issue among the firm. My concerns that I brought to upper leadership/HR were never addressed.
