Pros

-Good Benefits (Snacks, H/C, Outings) -Some Good People -Decent W/L Balance -Culture (dependent on the group) -Industry Leading Products/Experience

Cons

Peculiar Y/E bonus formula. Some of the long-tenured managers are clueless/useless. Best days seem behind the firm (from an employee standpoint) and the comp has taken a dive. Mid-Level Managers are desperate to hold on to their cushy seats which leads to politics/blame game. Overlevered funds took a hit so they lay-off all the people who are not politically connected.
