Pros

Good first job out of college with a 1-2 year learning period.

Cons

Company moving towards a world where junior associates, senior associates and research managers are meant to crank out as much work as possible with management knowing that they will burn out and then be replaced. Team Leaders and VPs have largely been grandfathered in; many of them are poor leaders who benefit from the work of those under them in salary.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
