Pros

Definitely a great place to work, collaboration across teams, sharing of knowledge across teams and offices Focus on diversity Focus on organizational structure, changes periodically to reflect the change in business needs, fix what's not working High performers are rewarded extremely well Senior management shares current state of play, forward looking plans, earnings and other metrics (which aren't shared in other similar firms) Excellent facilities, food, gym, massage, discounts, company trips, parties, swag... a long list

Cons

A few senior staff, continue to knowingly exercise rude behavior with people who are relatively new in the firm

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
