Pros

- All the junior staff are amazing - Flexibility to work remotely

Cons

- Lots of office politics, especially in the Water group in New York. Your performance review & standing can sink if a manager whispers gossip about you - Local directors/leaders are borderline incompetent (wasting people's time pursuing a topic that will never generate sizable revenue for the company) - Low pay compared to comparable firms - Salary increases are based on managers fighting over a cash pool & prioritizing the list of their direct reports - Any HR complaints/reports submitted takes a long time to get a response from, and only gets escalated when it's too late
