Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Former Senior Associate
Pros: Pros:
-Benefits and compensation are above average, especially at junior levels
-True firm-wide commitment to work/life balance - partner -> manager are all flexible (for the most part - always some exceptions but they would be anomalies)
-Can find great mentors at senior levels if you are proactive about it
-High level of responsibility early on with senior clients (generally just below C-suite - SVP, etc.)
-Extremely candid leadership team committed to further growing the business
Cons: Cons:
-Easy to become "just a number" if networking does not come naturally
-For junior people, it is easy to get pigeonholed on a client with no way out, especially as a top performer
-Considerable amount of change over the past 12-18 months (technology, performance reviews, etc.) has a temporary cloud of uncertainty over many staff
