Good place to work, typical corporate politics

Pros

Smart people, challenging work, professional and courteous environment. Firm will pay for professional designations. Compensation is very competitive always at or above market. Firm runs lean and you have an opportunity to interact with almost everyone including PMs and C-suite.

Cons

Typical politics at play. Management doesn't hide the fact that they have favorites and those favorites get promoted. Nothing that you wouldn't see at any other corporation.
