Pros

I received the offer however didn't end up accepting. The salary was amazing though, I have 0-1 YOE and they were willing to put me at the Senior Analyst position with a 125K salary(but no bonuses). I'd say their pay is competitive. And a large pro that I saw

Cons

I think I was hesitant about the organization. I didn't get much of a feel or understanding of the structure of the company. It felt very unorganized and I wanted a sort of cohort feel. It made it feel difficult to leave and start all over again.
