Pros

-Great work life balance -Mclean and Richmond offices has good facilities - gym, showers, sauna, bike racks, access to personal trainers 2x/month -Depending on which team you are on, work can be interesting -People are passionate about their work -Lateral moves within the company are easy to do after being in a role for 1 year

Cons

- Very frequent reorgs (every 2-3 years), as a result people get displaced, but company takes good care of them - Promotion cycle is slow - even with stellar performance, the "who you know" matters for promotions - not a merit based culture - Low employee morale due to recent cuts - Options for international mobility are limited as the company is located in the US/UK. - Raises are poor (1-3%), but bonus are good (remember there is a higher tax on bonuses)

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
