Pros

The name is the only good thing there. Oh, and they are so slow, you end up having a “work-life balance.”

Cons
  1. Managers will penalize you with a bad review, no examples, and they do this to reduce your six-digit bonus to zero when you take standard parental leave. They will say that it was the “leadership above” who made that decision.

  2. MDs consistently underpaid people.

  3. MDs will verbally abuse their power and bully their way, even when they are wrong.

  4. Their power is large, so they hire third parties for everything. Hence, any issues you have, third parties will side with their customer – the firm.

  5. They move roles to cities where they can become a top employer because of their name.

  6. They treat you like a child and count your work in office days and hours. It’s a prison cell.

  7. They have modern open rooms with snacks, but you have to pay for them, so it’s all a show for the picture. The prices are super expensive: $3.50 for yogurt.

Advice to Management

No advice will be enough for a company that insists on hiring managers who are engaging in unethical behaviors. Those who report it will be banned by being added to a “do not hire” list.
