Pros
Worked with some nice colleagues.
Cons
Everything else. - Growth through acquisition/diversification strategy is not working. The businesses are not integrated, not complimentary and don't collaborate at all. - Company is run by finance. The business only focuses on the next earning call and its appearance to the market (leading to frequent rounds of firing before reporting results). - The company has all of the worst hack aspects of a search firm ingrained into the culture (flying by the seat of pants, no real expertise, searches actually run by kids out of college while Partners sit back and watch the dollars roll in). - No interest in wellbeing/development/happiness of employees. - Very backward looking, old school (in the worst sense) mentality. Most Partners are wannabe country club types. - No pay rise. Ever. - Terrible bonus (company claims poverty every bonus cycle but appears to have saved a ton of cash). - Terrible benefits (the healthcare package is terrible) - You will work most evenings and weekends as you will have more searches to execute than is possible. -Don't even think about taking a vacation (unless you are a Partner). - Most of your colleagues will rotate out of the business on a regular basis.
