Pros

Pay is negotiable and they have the ability to pay a lot.

Cons

Poor management/leadership. Very poor HR. Majority of staff are fake. When a coworker asks you, "How are you... how was your weekend?" Reply, "Good" and then keep it moving. They don't actually care or want an honest answer. If you actually share a thoughtful answer that is honest, people look at you weird. When I tried to stand up for a coworker by asking to be delegated some of their work so that they aren't spread so thin, my manager told me, "Let's not speak for others and give them an opportunity to come to their manager on their own." Then I was shortly let go... The work culture at Pzena isn't what it is presented to be. Stay a few months and you'll see. HR is very quick and comfortable with letting people go for stepping out of their bound.
