Pros

- culture is inclusive and makes one feel that you are part of something big - people working in the firm are smart, hardworking, innovative and driven - medical benefits are good

Cons

- hire and fire culture corresponding with the myopic way of running business by the top management and the current CEO -noticeable disparity in the firm in top management where the leaders don’t have a solid pedigree and carry a certain narcissistic and self aggrandizing one fits all way of running business. The layoff mosaic is designed by these cadre of people -can’t trust them on face value as anything expressed can be retracted (the fact of paying lip service is very true) and it’s sad to see that there is a pattern of about face in this culture (wonder if it’s encouraged under the new CEO) and it’s no more the stable and respectable company where people marked a life time of a career - most other type of benefits or employee privileges got retracted - no and absolutely no plan/resources committed to employee outings or socials

Pros

- Good company wide culture (see notes below on ratings specific culture) good people - Great work life balance (especially for finance in NYC) - Opportunity to learn from most of the c-suite - If you want the return offer you can usually get it (only know one person from my year who wanted one and didn't get one). - The ratings intern program is essentially gauging if your competent to extend a return offer. You don't actually do much work for your team.

Cons

- Can't touch anything an actual associate does because of regulations in industry (don't get exposure with what you'll actually be doing full time). - Because you can't touch anything you basically spend the entire summer being talked at by senior analysts (learned a ton but can get repetitive). - Hybrid schedule is only really adhered to by associates on your team, so the office feels deserted at times. The seniors don't come into the office much. The ratings floors (separate from the rest of the business) have a stale and silent feeling. - Because you don't really do much for your team it's hard to create relationships with them. - Your capstone project can be on a completely different industry then the one you're assigned to.
