"Each office has a bit of its own culture. The HQ in New York definitely has a tight knit group of men at the top the ultimately influence org structure, opportunities and culture.

"I have worked here for 5 years and have only ever seen 1 woman be promoted to Managing Director in my group. The (white) men are given leadership positions regardless of accomplishments. Worse yet is they are put in charge of women and do not sufficiently advocate for them during promotion / compensation processes. The kicker: I received the classic feedback of being "too aggressive" in the workplace."
