Pros

Compensation is fair, professional development is a focus and supported by management. Decent benefits and perks are available as an employee of the firm.

Cons

Partners are very superficial and focused on material things. I witnessed a Partner flip up the tie of a manager and then ridicule him because it wasn't a designer name. The culture reminded me very much of high school- if you're not in the popular clique, partners don't give you the time of day. Everything in this firm is focused on business development. If you don't want to be a full time salesman- don't apply here! It's all about how much business you can bring to the firm.

Pros

Don't listen to their bs if you have a good job stay where you are!

Cons

They have nothing positive to say. No time to train expect you to walk in and know how they work. Most have their noses in the air, can't even say good morning. Don't appreciate anything. Use you up and spit you out. So glad to be out of here. HR is awful. The people I work for now are thrilled with my knowledge and never say "I have work but no time to train you".
