Pros

Pretty much next best after MBB Friendlier policies (Leave of absence, lounge fee) Opportunity for fast progression Improved diversity (at least in select offices)

Cons

Relatively uninteresting work Really low EQ managers, many suffer from implicit biases Subpar manager compensation (though that may change in 2019) Fast progression leads to long working hours + insecure, overstretched managers Training programs not up to mark, budgets for internal costs really low

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
