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

Nice office and kind people overall

Cons

Hours can be long but not unmanageable. Pay is on the lower side but that depends on the role. Worked in the Transaction Advisory Department and the Partner in charge targets people and brags about how many people he was responsible for getting fired.
