Great launching pad but certainly hard work
Pros: - Smart, talented, hard-working individuals
- Tight-knit office culture given our smaller size (might not find this in other cities)
- Exposure to high-risk areas very early on in career
- Ability to travel
- Information overload
Cons: - Unspoken pressures to always work more than what is in your schedule, eliminating any potential work-life balance
- The formal feedback process is an administrative nightmare that holds much less than weight than what it was designed to hold. Your annual rating really comes down to what the partners think about you during an hour-long discussion that takes place behind a curtained room at the end of each year.
- Excessive administrative tasks pushed down by national at the most inopportune times during the year.
- Mediocre pay (even with higher ratings).
- Very poor internal software, however acknowledging that the company is currently addressing this issue.
