Pros

Firm is extremely fast moving, energetic and intelligent. The company seems to find success in almost everything it does. The employees are super talented and having the name on your resume adds a lot of prestige.

Cons

There are not a lot of pats on the back for good work. They know they have great employees so they expect only the best. Often times people who work at a normal pace are unable to remain in the good graces of management.

Not equal opportunity for all

Pros

Pay and benefits are very good overall. Great location and facilities, fancy parties if that interests you. Smart, driven team.

Cons

Advancement opportunities and certain benefits are not extended to all. For example, tuition reimbursement only for management which they won't tell you on their website. Buddy system is definitely in play, frineds of firm get paid a lot to do little and are given most recognition. Cut-throat atmosphere, mistakes are NOT tolerated and they show no loyalty to employees at all. Gossipy, back-stabbing environment. CEO's are out of touch with the rank and file employees.

Pros

Company believes in hiring the best of the best, managing risk, and limiting waste. Senior Management emphasizes on value of collaboration and team work. If you work for a small team, it should be innovative and fun.

Cons

It grew too fast. Too much friction and competitivity between employees steals them from focusing on the firm goal: May the firm and everyone make money. The environment is now reminiscent of High School: The bullies, the jocks, the chearleaders, the geeks, etc... Arrogance and illusion of being the best (Egomania) are alarmingly high.
