Pros

*Some* of the VPs are great to work with & provide valuable mentorship (others are terrible). Senior leaders (Grossman, Ralston, & Vick especially) are class acts. Some interesting, high level client work and exposure.

Cons

Top heavy organization that relies on a small group of junior staffers who are very poorly paid for the hours they work. Internal competition emphasized over cohesion at the junior level, and almost a Stasi-like environment at times. Old boys club mentality (just look at the team page - full of old, white men & all AAs are women). Terrible pay and benefits (insurance v expensive due to aging senior staff). Opaque performance reviews - a lot of promotions due to blatant favoritism. Takes advantage of the oversupply of young IR grads in the area for cheap labor.

Pros

top notch colleagues to work with mgt cares about employees and actively seeks ways to promote work/life balance

Cons

none. if you don't like working as an integral part of teams, aren't goal oriented, well organized and a highly motivated professional person you won't be a good fit; quality, excellence and integrity are not just words, they are the foundation for everything this company does.
