      Interesting work, poor culture

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Interesting and sometimes groundbreaking work Good reputation Decent compensation, but by no means the highest in the market

      Cons

      Poor culture. Associates generally treated like cannon fodder. Very uneven workloads within the team due to poor management. No plans for long-term associate development and retention. Partners seem to be aware of these longstanding issues, but there are minimal improvements thus far. Long working hours, little respect for work-life balance. Medical benefits are relatively poor - default is no coverage for dental or annual health checkup
