Pros
The entity and the company itself have a "chance" to be a big player. Runs lean, catering in-office. The work can be engaging and seldom boring, but it can quickly slip into chaos. Pay can be competitive depending on the function, but the benefits are meh
Cons
Senior associates and leadership who helped build the foundation are leaving in droves, with many actively seeking other opportunities. This has created an overworked environment, and uneasy feeling among many. There is no work-life balance, and employees are expected to be available 24/7 for certain functions. Some departments have extremely high turnover, which should be traditionally low, due to leadership dysfunction. No remote (they treat it like an actual sin). Always adjusting functions and processes that could be better left alone.
