Pros

Talented and smart colleagues. It is a tough place to be and you get challenged very often. You can do amazing things since it is pretty much still an evolving firm. The culture is very open.

Cons

You need to show off :). Good networking is extremely essential at this firm. To move ahead, you need to make sure that the right people know about you.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
