Pros

They pay you. Kitchens nice. Cool office. You get to travel and stay at nice hotels.

Cons

- In house politics rule the day. - Meritocracy is an illusion to keep the kids they hire blinkered. - A few notable old timers excepted, there is hardly any real knowledge or expertise left outside of NY. - In any case no ones really listening to feedback anyway. - Management jobs are hardly worth having. No real management controls or decision making abilities exist outside of a handful of people in NY. The rest is just a series of titles without real power. - Companies Arrogance is staggering - This company is 100% an example of the adage "Perception is reality". As long as they portray an image of competance, people buy it. Actually they were once great but are only trading on their name today. - Classic example of a Company in the "Cash Cow" phase of its business. - No genuine regard for peoples development. - HR is exclusively a tool for management control of Staff. There is absolutely No real care for employees and their concerns. - Thorough disregard for compliance related issues internally (probable reason for recent scandals) - Treat staff as a robot whose every move is co-ordinated and screened.
