Pros

I wish I could take one star off from 5 and give them none. No pros!

Cons

Literally everything you can think of! What an absolute freak place to work at! Their management, specially senior management is a joke. No growth and full of bs! Do not apply. Just wait and apply somewhere else. And yes, I'm taking about 2020.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

This firm is a hot mess. It the blind leading the blinder. They can’t retain staff. Management is oblivious of employees needs. Good people realize quickly that this firm after 10 years can’t seem to get it together. They talk a good game but the follow through isn’t there. Low compensation. Avoid.
