Pros

This place is nothing more than a frat house that pays alot and spend like there's no tomorrow. But to get your high salary, you have to fit into the clique. All the assistants get six figure salaries and live in expensive condos. They provide annual "business" trips for all employess and spouses. That is if you count Bahamas as a business trip. I guess this place is great for people who love to party and don't really want a career.

Cons

Management wants to keep their jobs secure so they don't let the employees do more than their hired for. There is minimal job promotion. They let go a few employees every few years to avoid too much seniority. This is another way for management to protect themselves.

Pros

Great salary. Great perks such as daily lunch stipend, reimbursed for commuting costs. Opportunities for lots of OT if wanted but without pressure.

Cons

While everyone was kind and professional, EA’s weren’t always made to feel like part of the team like I’ve seen at other firms. Yes, they’re valued and treated well, but weren’t included in team events other than during Christmas. Isn’t a Big deal, but if I had to name a con, that would be it. Really smart people, autonomous environment, and everyone works collaboratively. It was lovely working there.

Pros

Good benefits (although I understand that these are now being whittled away). Interesting work.

Cons

They sell you on culture but anyone who has been there a while will tell you that since they brought in half of Goldman Sachs to run the place the culture has tanked, unsurprisingly. You can’t trust the GS crowd and sadly they’re running the show. Founding Partner is interested in doing deals and has withdrawn from managing the firm, which is sad as he did care about the staff. Now management just care about their LTIPs and bonuses.
