Pros

Competitive Bonus/Salary Package Good Benefits (Health Insurance / Dental) Good amount of vacation time given (can only roll over 10 days year)

Cons

Unrealistic hours - 70 -80 hours a week (depending on role/division) Operations = less hours than revenue producing divisions (IMD/IBD) Overtime is HALFTIME, not time and a half (like most other companies) No travel opportunities unless you are fairly senior VP/MD This company is EXTREMELY CHEAP, no employee appreciation activities or events

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
