Pros

- Interesting work : a great variety of work products - Great exposure: working with the executives from the world's largest companies - Smart colleagues - Good medical benefits in China (but also low pay!)

Cons

- Poor leadership, lots of politics at the top and mid-management level - Managers shield responsibilities and always blame subordinates first when mistakes occur - Long work hours (9 am to 12am is common) - Unstructured organization culture, slow promotion, opaque career path - Consultants / analysts claim to be "experts" after a 2-page reading research report by interns and a couple of news articles

Business Outlook

Pros

- Interesting projects and clients - International exposure - Great team culture (depending on your team)

Cons

- Bonus got slashed due to group structure change (which led to our group not hitting the target, even though our department did) - Political at the top, old boys club. - Firm is not run by professionals and business leaders - instead it's run by all the old boys (ie. former intelligence/military folk (who are great at what they do but not really at runnning business)
