Pros

Amongst the big firms, OW is really different and special. A few things: - The culture really is "entrepreneurial" - you are expected and allowed to make major changes from when you start. If you want to have an impact, this is the place for you - Really humble, open, and honest people. I have found some of my best friends here - Opportunity to grow at your own pace. You are given lots of transparency into the review process, and are promoted accordingly. It's worked well for me

Cons

The benefits packages are mediocre at best.
