Pros

Occasionally, the vending machine snacks are not past their expiration date. The San Francisco offices have fantastic views despite being a firm with a prison culture.

Cons

If you are a minority be expected to be treated like the help. Very much a "white man's boy club," management doesn't foster entrepreneurialism and vetoes any refreshing practices, the highest degree of politics and sycophancy is to be expected. Analysts/Associates are underpaid given the long hours worked.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
