It's okay, but don't stay too long (BPG)
Pros: - People are really talented and hard working 
- Easy to find a mentor
- ERGs are very active depending on the office you're in
- Culture and leadership that highly encourage employees to volunteer in their communities
Cons: - If you're working in BPG it is really hard to get promoted. Expect to see your functional colleagues climb up the ranks while you remain in the same role for years.

- Overall across the firm, promotion and retention of black and brown employees are lower than they should be. Lots of talent are frustrated and end up leaving. I did.

- Depending on the BPG department you're in new roles can be rare, especially at the entry level. Some departments have a culture of professionals joining the firm mid/late in their career and staying in the same role until retirement....leaving little opportunity for movement between teams. It was openly known that most join for the slower culture and shorter commute. **I would do the same if I was at this stage - but entry level professionals will find it hard to start a career in those departments**
