Great place but a few lingering issues

Pros

Free food from all the good places in NYC Frequent homeruns on the deal side

Cons

Some management through motion (move fast, fire some people, adjust/fix later or not or do over) Many great people left or were pushed out - I wish they could have been retained Very political - merit / results should be fairly rewarded, not creative status reporting nor blaming others. Technology - having knowledgeable, nice, smart and respected people leave is hurting the firm.

Pros

Salaries show they have money to burn. Plenty of benefits to keep your month shut and keep looking forward.

Cons

I have been shocked to see the talent they have let go. It secures the feeling that the harder you work, the harder you'll fail. We are all in fear of being next.

Pros

Great learning opportunities, great brand name, and decently smart people.

Cons

Lots of office politics on certain teams, cut-throat competitive culture from middle management, and as a woman early in my career, I experienced misogyny that was unaddressed and allowed to continue
