      Would NEVER do it if I could go back

      Investment associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free meals, gym, good pay

      Cons

      Horrible management, incredibly abusive environment, fake "meaningful relationships" that are only illusions (no-one actually gives a damn about you, LOTS of politics (I know people who wouldn't get fired if they tried, because they were with the "in crowd"), Absurd amount of mindless nonsensical work, horrible non compete that will haunt you.

      Learn and Go

      Administrative coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary, great benefits, full cafeteria and snack pantries located on every floor, team and company events, investment of time and energy on your strengths and weaknesses so there is a lot of self learning. A common language and framework for how to engage with others. I loved it for the management intensive boot camp it was for like 6 months. It gets repetitive after that.

      Cons

      So much time spent on your strengths and weaknesses and not much else. The ability to take analysis paralysis to an all new level so if your intrinsic motivator is completing things look elsewhere. The only people that last start here are young and just out of college and are moldable, experienced hires rarely make it more than a year or two max. Folks who use The Principles as a way of deflection.
