High walls and hierarchical / no incentive to perform
Pros: There are still some good people left - not like it was 6 or 7 years ago, but they are there.
The reputation of the firm still weighs well on the resume
Cons: Comp is mediocre. There is no bonus (the average payout in the last seven years was a week's worth of my salary - and last year was zero). Thus, there is no incentive to perform. Getting promoted is highly dependable on business affordability (having open spots). Performing well does little to help with promotion if you don't have the relationships - it's about who you work for and not the quality of your work.
Management is shady and provides zero transparency. Rules frequently change overnight as far as how your performance is measured.
Areas don't play well together - if you do work for someone outside your Region or competency, you will be forgotten.
