Pros

-Learned a ton, this is one thing I will give them during my time there. -Incredibly smart people, perhaps the smartest I have worked with, and they know it. -Nice location at World Financial, but then again it could be better since they own the freaking complex. -Good starting salary, expect it to last a few years.

Cons

-No work-life balance whatsover if you would like to succeed at your job. 14 hour days, weekends, etc. -Management acts as if they are paying you out of their own pocket. My entire team was treated like children despite dedicating our lives to the job. -Zero privacy: open work envireonment is the most intrusive I have ever encountered. The CFO of one of their public companies was sitting in a cube, nuff said. -Raises/bonuses/promotions are treated like you are gaining the keys to the kingdom. Like the old saying, if you are not on the inside, you are on the outside. Better make a friend of a key executive, or you will be left out in the cold. -If you never open your mouth or express an opinion, you will be their ideal junior employee.

Pros

Hardly any. 401k is best in the industry, but that wouldn't matter because you wouldn't like to stay.

Cons

No team work. Most work is done by external contractors. Middle managers just want to climb the ladder and don't think twice before throwing you under the bus.

Pros

Some people are great to work with.

Cons

No bonuses for staff, stereotypical juvenile corporate environment where people and even temps are mocked for being "weird" or deemed "uncool" in any way. Lots of gossip. Hours can be 11-14/day with multiple requests for hiring additional help ignored or met by hiring temporary interns who need to be trained with every new intern (several times a year).
