Pros

The culture of efficiency, hard work, and drive are incredible. It remains pretty professional at all times, though the brilliant people you work with make up for the all-work mentality

Cons

-Hard work/life balance: depending on your division, there's pressure to stay late, though it's often for good reason -Getting fired is always a surprise to everyone--lack of transparency -Runs lean, but sometimes TOO lean

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.
