Manager Corporate Advisory & Restructing
Pros: Lots of support from peers. Senior management was one of the best I have ever worked for. They were thorough professionals who helped mentor and coach junior staff. Criticism was always constructive. The environment was such that I wanted to learn and improve myself and create value for my clients and the firm. A lot of autonomy with respect to how to work. The end product was important and not the process. I would sometimes work from home even during weekdays.
Cons: The problem is the same that many knowledge firms whose main capital is providing services. The work inherently cannot be scheduled so that one always has a good work/life balance. At times we would be crazy busy working overtime but management was always cognizant of that and would do their best to ease the situation by providing more resources if possible. Also, during down times, management would sort of compensate you for all the overtime by letting you take it easy.
