Pros

Met some incredibly talented, young individuals that will go far in life. Enjoyed the challenging, ever-changing work environment.

Cons

A tremendous amount of office and company politics. This is a relationship based company, and does not offer much opportunity to try cross-functional roles unless you know the right people.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
