Pros

Kind people, work from home was great, benefits were nice (staff gifts often missed the mark), great clients.

Cons

So many people were unhappy when I left. Culture was deteriorating, layoffs were happening, morale was low. Large firm so Band-Aid solutions for all. Rules for staff didn't match rules for others, it left many feeling uncared for and valued way less. Individual office needs were not entertained if it didn't align with the way things are done. Cult-like "Be Cooley" mindset. Staff bonuses are too low.

Pros

Free lunch and snack bar

Cons

Some offices have awful open layouts and cubicle like associate seating. I also experienced a lot of turnover and instability under the new CEO.
