      Great company, but can become a bit suffocating. And a young company.

      Pros

      A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

      Cons

      Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.

      Excellent work/life balance, overly focused on empirics, too much middle management

      Pros

      Laid back culture; management and oversight is extremely lax, the most junior associates are trusted and empowered to get their deliverables compelted on their own schedule. I work in the Northern Virginia office and my entire management heirarchy is in the Richmond office, so I basically come and go as I please so long as I get my work done when it's needed and the results are good. I can basically work from home whenever I like. Going back to trust and empowerment of junior associates, this is true also in terms of the work assigned; management does very little hand-holding, leans on these associates to perform most of the work on their own.

      Cons

      Traveling to Richmond on a weekly basis is a pain the rear. At this point I basically go on my own schedule, nobody absolutely mandates I make the trip, but to effectively get results and exposure to management I don't really have a choice. Most of the analyst teams have too much middle management; anaylsts report to managers report to directors report to VP, when in reality it seems VP always sets the strategy, analysts perform the work, and everyone in between just refines the powerpoint. The "Information Based Strategy" environment at times is too analytic; too much time and manpower is spent in overly detailed valuations frameworks that provide little if any value.
