Pros

The people are the best part of the firm.

Cons

Too many to list, bottom line the firm is filled with political games and favorites. So many hardworking people are taken for granted and there are many people in many departments who have no business managing people or making decisions. Scroll the glass door reviews and nearly all of the high scores are written by the people who are favored or their subordinates. The president used to be a favorite of employees and now he is just a shell of a leader who can no longer look people in the eye with genuine sincerity.

Pros

Flexible PTO, good healthcare and maternity/paternity leave plans, inflation raise each year with a bonus dependent on company profits. Supportive and friendly staff.

Cons

Mostly in-office work with one WFH day. Not many raise opportunities past the one each year to account for inflation.
