      Pros

      Great HR system who worked hard to help employers have a good experience (especially Rachel). Fantastic for CV for the rest of your life.

      Cons

      Meritocracy means that people are constantly competing for promotions which creates performance anxiety and, in the context of 70-90 hour weeks, led to burn out for many people, including up to 6 months off work. (Lots of talk of monitoring hours but people aren't honest about how many hours they do when inputting their time sheets as they know it will trigger an alarm to their managers which goes directly back to them).

      Pros

      The paycheck does not bounce

      Cons

      For the past several years we hear the firm is growing >10%, and new offices are opening. So why are support services staff and budgets squeezed so hard?

      Pros

      -You get to work with some great people. -Annual offsite meetings are fun

      Cons

      -No career advancement possible outside of your immediate team. All Global or regional roles are based out of Boston. -We keep hearing about the extraordinary growth of the company but continuously see cuts in budgets. -CSS staff are secondary citizens to this company. -Pay is sub market rate. Every year you hear about how they analyze the market rate and how we are paid what the market is showing. I strongly believe this is false because it's never adjusted. Any raise you get barely counters inflation. -When I first started the cell phone reimbursement was $100 and now it is half of that. Meanwhile they raised consultants reimbursement amount.
