Pros

Paid breakfast & lunch (but gets old quickly). Gym on premises (but not allowed to use it during the day - only before or after work)

Cons

1) Google “Och Ziff” & “Africa” to understand the SEC investigation against the company that is still not resolved 2) Stock has dropped over 70% since Jan 2014 since investigation has started to gain momentum (obviously not a good sign) 3) Elitist management 4) Cult –like atmosphere -- they expect you to give up your personal life & worship senior management -- very cliquey in certain departments 5) There is a real division between Front Office & Back office roles – the people on the upper floors “look down” at anyone that’s not in a role that makes them $$ (accounting, operations, compliance, etc.) 6) No room for advancement 7) There is NO DIVERSITY (company is driven by an all-white male jewish faction) 8) No corporate philanthropy (it's only for show - they do not legitimately care or promote any of the causes they claim to support). 9) NO Corporate Culture - no sense of congeniality among co-workers (most people are out for themselves and there is no sense of "teamwork") ** NOTE - all of the "good" reviews were written internally - as you'll notice they sound like they're all written by the same person - use similar language and comment on the same things.**

Pros

Free lunch. Decent pay and PTO.

Cons

IT Leadership is very toxic here which starts from the very top. No career planning at all and no growth opportunities. They expect you to pick up anything and everything regardless of what you are experienced in. It’s about the volume of work and never about experience new and exciting things. There’s always the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude. You are expected to work very long hours and weekends. Otherwise you are looked upon as a slacker. It’s a glorified sweatshop. I would advise any sane person to stay far away from this place.
