Pros
Select few peers were great (they are no longer working there).
Cons
Everyday I would walk in to a constant gossip session about peers, candidates, clients, etc. This is often encouraged. If upper management likes you, then you are set. Otherwise stay out of their way. This is a culture that has no qualms about inappropriate candor or harassment of any nature. The Managing Partners are there to override and cut out the lesser experienced from the deal. There is no support in growth or further opportunities. Great starting place for recruiters if they don't mind the toxic culture. There is always an underlying current of judgement. Most there act like it's a frat house. Throwing snacks and themed parties at the employees does not make up for the toxicity in this office. During my time here - 7 people left before and after my employment with Vaco. All due to CULTURE and LEADERSHIP. No WFH opportunities except for Senior Management. You never know how truly a toxic a culture is until you leave it...
