Really strong firm with a great track record both in the market and with their staff (forbes best list). Great benefits Strong management and strategic direction (better than other firms I've worked at)

Cons

Still a very challenging industry and business model that requires long hours at all levels Compensation is generally cash based so does not have the same upside as equity driven compensation

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome exit opportunities, incredible benefits, incredibly bright colleagues

Cons

Very challenging to maintain a fulfilling personal life while working in this job. The client is always right and it was not unheard of to get an email on a Saturday evening that required a response within a few hours.
