Most toxic workplace environment on Wall St

Pros

Great brand name within finance. Amazing office location. Nice offices. Hard to come up with 20 words of positivity.

Cons

Intense, unfriendly environment day to day. Unsupportive of time off of ANY kind. Neurotic senior management with unreasonable expectations -- armies of Miranda Priestlys. Multiple people had mental breakdowns/hospitalizations from exhaustion due to overworking, and management + HR still turned a blind eye. Bonuses are minuscule compared to other places on the street. It's just not worth it.

Pros

Management in the accounting dept is super talented at filing papers with the use of color-coordinated tab.

Cons

For most 16-year-olds, obtaining their driver's license is an important milestone. Most in the accounting department have yet to achieve this milestone. Let's not discuss competency in accounting, one needs to learn to walk before one can even consider running.
