Pros

Health benefits Lunch benefits and others The staff and senior level people made it worthwhile

Cons

Management Disorganization Underpaid and overworked Your input is not valued and neither are employees 60% of the staff was furloughed within a day, the margins at the company aren’t great and they live paycheck to paycheck. The India team will most likely replace the accounting team soon

Pros

Location is great, lunch is served daily.

Cons

Amherst InsightLabs has hostile work environment and unqualified top management. The main firm rule is less knowledgeable and unprofessional you are - more powerful you are.

Pros

Catered food daily Beautiful office location Lovely conference rooms Snacks of all kinds Free coffee

Cons

Aggressive/hostile management Incompetent managers happy to lay blame and insult you if something goes awry No established processes of any validity "Wall street" atmosphere - very much a "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" attitude towards everything No work/life balance - the expectation is that you work until you drop since most of the management and senior staff are workaholics who stay until very late.
