The culture is problematic

Pros

If you're just starting out, some divisions can give you a good learning curve.

Cons

The culture is not employee friendly at all. Management talks a lot about being open and transparent and speaking up but if you do have disagreements with your supervisors and you express your concern, you will face retaliation in some way or the other. There is a reason a lot of senior people who have been in the firm for many many years have recently quit. The workplace is toxic and there is no real help. The ratings where I have given 1 star are only because I cannot give a 0 star. There is very little integrity in the people. Please do not be fooled by the flashy money. At the end, a toxic workplace will impact your mental and physical health.
