Pros

Powerful brand Global network Well know even from small companies, entrepreneurs, etc Lots of responsibilities Small team, boutique spirit (despite the international brand behind)

Cons

Heavy procedures, in particular towards audit (conflict checks) Audit, and to a lesser extent Transaction Services, as core activities, are really more considered than M&A Weakness of after sale service due to the nature of the company : pure advisory firm, not a bank with asset management or fiscal specialist to help clients to deal with the proceed of their sale In the blue chip companie management's mind, an Audit firm, which implies not always invited to pitch or taken seriously Wages under market standards

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
