Pros

The firm overall really does work hard to ensure employees have the resources they need to be successful. From personal wellness classes, multiple corporate perks, and affinity networks to the robust 360 degree reviews and comprehensive training materials and professional skills classes. For self-motivated individuals, you will learn a tremendous amount from working here.

Cons

Despite structured frameworks to promote a positive, healthy culture, there are many managers who circumvent these parameters. For example, despite 360 degree feedback, upper management still dictates the year-end performance review. At the end of the day, there is still a very strong undercurrent of politics despite the claim to be a meritocracy. This distracts from people doing real work and rewards people who spend more time self-promoting.
