Pros
Not much to talk about. Ops and tech heavy firm that still lives in its legacy. No meaningful change is possible as everything is customized and bespoke by client. Only way firm churns out returns is by cutting cost. No net new revenue added in last decade plus.
Cons
- MDs are in the business of putting up appearances and managing their brand perception, no actual work gets done and no real leadership skills at certain levels - Firm keeps showing a new shiny object to the street every few years with nothing meaningful coming out of it - data analytics, blockchain, AI. - Very poor HR systems and processes. Performance management process is a joke. No structured framework or path to recognize high performance. - Lot of politics and cliques - No real strategy to grow
