      Pros

      - On an individual level there are some good people, but as a firm the overriding culture is a disaster

      Cons

      - Ego driven and very hierarchical - Poor leadership, very little management and no people development - Don’t look after their people, and no appreciation for work life balance - Aggressive, male dominated and resistant to change

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strength of leadership at the top, culture, competitive compensation and benefits. While it is a fast-paced environment and leanly staffed, people really seem to genuinely enjoy working with one another which makes it an overall positive workplace environment. During this crisis, the leadership of the firm has shown up in so many ways. They’ve been transparent and communicative, generous and understanding....all while keeping our eyes on the ball. Truly outstanding under the circumstances.

      Cons

      No unique cons or challenges that any other workplace doesn’t face.
