Pros

The people in my office were mostly nice, but some were only tolerable at best. People are worse in other offices by far. No other pros from my perspective.

Cons

Technology--complete joke. Systems are ancient by today's standards. Little to no innovation from a technological perspective. Little to no investment in technological innovation from what I gathered during my time there. Laptops are garbage and the systems are just as bad. IT management--see previous comments regarding technology. Lack of education is obvious. Incompetent would be putting it nicely. Expectations do not align with compensation package--one of the only companies in a large, metropolitan market that does not cover simple things such as parking or transit fares the way other companies in the same markets do (unless you're an "executive"--those who can afford it most pay the least). Little to no true feedback--self-reviews are a lazy way for managers to do little to no work in actually evaluating work performance. Career trajectory is entirely subjective--favoritism, cronyism, nepotism are the top three ways that, from my perspective, one was able to get promoted despite the fact that there were other, more qualified people that could do the job better. HR. I don't even need to say anything else here--others have pointed out the flaws with this group and it's all true.

Pros

Free lunch during busy season

Cons

Very cliquey. Very dependent upon each manager and partner. Some partners were great, but others were rude/condescending/only cared about profits and chargeability. Company is growing very fast and rewards those who will work their life away
