Pros
None in NYC office except proximity to Bryant Park. Westchester office is a lot better in both the working atmosphere and work/life balance.
Cons
Management in NYC office is horrible. Avoid working there at all costs. There is no work/life balance in this office. Employees are treated like they are kids who don't know how to manage themselves and are micromanaged daily by the Executive Directors. Management in NYC are threatened by experienced and smart employees. They want 'yes' men around them and will not tolerate disobedience. It's an open secret in the office that top management (MDs) are protecting the 'boy's club' NYC managers (Executive Directors) from any scrutiny by the rank and file (VPs and below). Rank and file guys are genuine, smart and really helpful. It's a collaborative culture among the peers.
