An Inside Look

Inside the Corporate Department: What’s a Neighborhood?

Every firm has its own insider knowledge base—the quirks and ways of working that are hard to understand until you actually work there. Wherever possible, we try to tell you about those quirks as you’re researching us so that you can get a better understanding of how we operate.
