Pros

The office in NYC is in the West Village and is very nice.

Cons

Every month there is a new initiative to reorganize the company. This translates to a mass exit of knowledgeable, compentent people, which affects projects negatively. You never know if the project team you met with last week will be the same team for this week. Many long-term employees are just not competent. People that never leave the safety of their employer since college do not get to be 'well-rounded' because they never experience the real world. They survive continual reogranizations because they are reliable, not because they are good at what they do. Their system structure is a mess, outdated and unreliable. The pay scale is low and so out of touch with the rest of the business world.

Pros

Kaplan is great with allowing you to balance your personal and professional life.

Cons

Things are constantly changing. There are national calls on a weekly basis and seems like there are new objectives and goals every week. The compensation and promotion guidelines are "up in the air."
