Business outlook
Pros
Generally speaking, very capable coworkers and willingness to engage; great opportunities for junior staff to gain exposure and boost visibility; work-life balance and ability to work remotely are both surprisingly available, given the industry reputation
Cons
Best talent often leaves early because of pigeon-holing; company prides itself on being a meritocracy but too often corporate politics takes precedence over actual talent; poor direct managers can shorthand junior staff through no fault of their own; too many director- and managing director-level people are preoccupied with optics over substance
