Pros

Good benefits such as holidays and Insurance Some of the entry-level staff are friendly, and it is relatively easy to make connections with your peers around the office. When the firm inevitably restructures or makes cuts, they do provide a standard severance package.

Cons

The work environment is highly disorganized, and the leadership team is completely misaligned. Management gives extreme mixed signals—one supervisor will tell you that you are improving and doing well, while a senior manager will actively ignore your ideas and ice you out of meetings. There is a deeply ingrained culture of office politics where coworkers will complain behind your back instead of communicating directly. Furthermore, new hires are set up to fail. Junior staff are evaluated on impossible, unreasonable metrics (such as expecting 100% perfect accuracy on tasks right away) with almost zero actual coaching or mentorship. Instead of training you, management prefers to micromanage minor, insignificant things to build a paper trail. You can be told you are on the right track, only to be suddenly laid off without cause due to a “business decision.”
