Don't stay for longer than a year or two if at all
Pros
Stable company, looks good on the CV
Cons
Hot desking (only enough desks for 70% staff, forced to sit in booths/ meeting rooms often). The firm is run by nepotistic brokers and a distant hq in Chicago - supporting functions such as analytics are seen as cost centres. Employees are expected to produce more with less people in teams when they leave. It can take months / years for hr etc to replace people that leave (if at all). Despite year after year of significant organic growth, the salary pot each year is capped at 1% of total and is available to those earning under 100k only. In practise this means around 2-3k pay rise if you’re lucky otherwise you can expect to be flat year on year or below rate of inflation. Lots of bureaucracy and politics. 12-16 hour days during renewal season and occasional weekends in the office. Account execs on large clients or those with potentially large redundancy settlements can do no wrong in the firms eyes
