Pros

Colleagues were generally smart and hardworking at junior levels.

Cons

The firm had promise but consistently demonstrated lack of judgement at the leadership level. - reviews were incredibly cumbersome and poorly implemented - massive expenditures on rebranding that did not generate business - highly political senior leadership (more infighting than collaboration) - RIFs and PIPs to new joiners who didn't have an opportunity to succeed - Unchecked favoritism to homegrown individuals
