Pros
•Pay & Benefits: the base salary is very competitive, and employees are eligible for both year-end bonus and a mid-year Partnership bonus •Leadership: a number of good role models in the leadership ranks - humble, honest and approachable Principals/Senior Managers
Cons
•Group-think: This will be very dependent on the team you’re in, but in my experience, there is a pervasive group-think mentality and a tendency to rally around popular team members at the expense of hearing views across the board. This stifles innovation & progress and promotes the status quo. •Silos: a lot of people tend to have a “that’s not my job attitude” which hinders cross-functional collaboration and results in organizational knowledge gaps. Going above and beyond is not always rewarded, so many of us are asked to just “color inside of the lines” •Micromanagement: this will likely vary depending based on your seniority, but I found the constant micromanagement quite frustrating in my role, with my manager’s rigid expectations on how things should be done with no room for deviation for a given workflow (“my way or the highway” thinking). This was presented to me as well-meaning feedback, but turned out to be an endless stream of criticism and negative remarks.
