Pros

Great name on your resume, some good exposure to different kinds of clients/transactions.

Cons

Not everybody had poor work/life balance, but for some of us we were there long long hours and we had little support to achieve our tasks. There was also a lot of favoritism and politics. Not always fair in compensation structure

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
