Pros

- Since it is a growing company you have the opportunity to earn responsibility faster than you would in a larger more bureaucratic corporation - Great work environment - As a first year Analyst you are given the opportunity to have a genuine impact on the company - Each day is different and you have the chance to learn about various industries - Senior management is very accessible and encourages open dialogue - Unique work that is challenging and requires you to think on your feet

Cons

Not a con but a comment.... If you're the type of person that wants to just show up to work and coast through the day this is not the job for you.

Pros

* Start up feel (relaxed and fun atmosphere, non bureaucratic/corporate/stuffy) * Great learning opportunity (as soon as you develop one skill set, you start being involved in another) * Real impact on business and lots of responsibilities (within few months out of college, Analysts can develop their own client relationships, begin interviewing candidates for jobs, and soon after that begin learning coaching/mentoring and then management skills). * Clear room for career growth * Fun group of co workers with big emphasis on social aspect (work team sports, lots of outings, etc). * Senior Management is always accessible and cares about employees (CEO/MD take time to personally interview all new hires) * Ability to take on additional projects you are passionate about

Cons

* Always too much to do: employees are always on, always busy, always engaged - this job is NOT one you just show up too, put in face time, and leave your work at the office (also a pro - you will never be bored, because there will always be a million things to do and not enough time to do them in). This company is only a good fit for organized people who like to stay busy (even then it can be tiring - thank god theres a good vacation package so you can recharge!) * 8 a.m. start time is tough to adjust to if you are not a morning person.
