Pros
-Had to learn a lot of skills by yourself accelerating your learning curve
Cons
I should have realized that this company was blazing red flags all around but was blinded. The company higher ups and your VPs have no sense of respect for your time as well as your life outside of the job. There will be days and nights where your VP will message or email you passive aggressively asking you to come back online to finish a project because they want to send it early even though we may be ahead of schedule. Your higher ups will bend their back for their clients which means that you as an associate, senior associate, or a consultant will have to work more than extra because at Quadrant they like to agree to have delusional timelines and project deliverables. If you think you are going to get amazing benefits by working at this firm, it is your time to turn around and look for other opportunities. Recently, the firm laid-off some percentage of the workforce due to the firm's fault and miscalculations. There were no prior warnings or buffer time periods in which they inform the workforce that people will be laid off. They cut off access to the files and Slack and a minute later the email about being laid off came from the partners. We did not have any time to process our emotions and did not get to say good bye to any of our colleagues. I am utterly shocked at the firm's irresponsibility and the unprofessionalism of handling the situation where they did not take into account of the consequences this has on their employees.
