CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office and kind people overall

Cons

Hours can be long but not unmanageable. Pay is on the lower side but that depends on the role. Worked in the Transaction Advisory Department and the Partner in charge targets people and brags about how many people he was responsible for getting fired.
