Pros

This company sells you the promised land- where if you work hard, you can climb to the top. This is absolutely untrue and unjust to inform potential candidates/clients on false pretenses. The longest employee in this office is 4 years- and there is a reason why. It is literally the worst place to work.

Cons

This office IS politcal. Regardless of your work ethic, it is unlikely you will succeed- hence why over 70% of the staff has left since a new MD joined the office. It is an expectation that you MUST stay and work late- 8am to 7pm. If you leave early, or even take a long bathroom break, be prepared to supply an explanation. Comp structure is terrible- unless you want to be 30 years old making $70K, working 12 hrs/day and hating your life. The Boston office is doing so poorly and management is so bad that you are not allowed to leave the office without justifying why in $$$. No one ever leaves the desk to visit a client or meet a candidate because they are SO paranoid you are out interviewing. It is an EXPECTATION that you are chained to your desk everyday and at a call center during 8am to 7pm.
