Pros
- amazing on-boarding plan when you start as a new associate - pretty well organised company - colleagues are extremely helpful and friendly (not only first impressions, they are consistently very approachable and they share the same values around the globe) - take your dog into the office - impressive training schemes and encouragement for personal development - benefits - the 5 Principles (you only realise how profound those principles are when you carry them with you after leaving the company) - modern office
Cons
- Unbearable workload (this mainly comes from the ambiguity of the job descriptions and a lot of delegation from your manager and side tasks coming on a regular basis - again, because the job descriptions are ambiguous and you are expected to do more than you should/could) - the promotions of associate colleagues come early and they look preferential - extremely political and entry-level management is particularly suspicious (they appear very focused on the next career move/promotion, delegate some of their responsibilities to the direct reports and take risky and bad decisions in order to advance themselves) - "talking the talk" - communication full of jargons, messages lack content and are prone to misinterpretation - a lot of stress and too much talking in the open space offices
