Pros

Mostly good benefits and good exit opportunities.

Cons

You are thrown to the wolves right away. Good work is only rewarded with more work. I’d get my work done but it wasn’t good enough if I didn’t work until midnight. Just a toxic place to be.

Pros

Somewhat of an exposure to the overall infrastructure US market; however, no one recognizes this practice as being a part of project finance Compensation isnt bad but is outweighed by how bad the practice is managed

Cons

Management is probably the worst I have ever experienced ( Sue is a narcissist that can’t stay out of her own way) 30% of the firm has left in the first 7 months of the year Limited career advancement ( slow career advancement ) Limited training

Pros

- other lower level people are nice to work with - decent experience for first job

Cons

- management only cares about numbers and showed complete disregard to employees well being and work-life balance - management was very controlling and conniving. Basically they made us feel like we had to work weekends when our contracts are not written that way - pay is under industry average, they need to do this to keep their prices low - managers understand that many analysts are coming in here as their first job and take advantage of people’s good nature to squeeze their output out for all their worth -first I had mental burnout -second I had physical burnout -third I had emotional burnout - fourth I had an even deeper physical burnout And MANAGEMENT DID NOT CARE. They just pushed for more cases - the stress of my engagement sent one of my coworkers to the hospital. The partner on the project buried his head in the sand and didn’t think of not care for his analysts criticisms about the project - the senior manager pretended that he was sympathetic to the analysts but in actuality used our feelings to try to get us to work even longer hours - senior manager literally told us that we were going to maximize time on laptops over the next 2 weekends, even if we finished our work, we had to check in with the manager before logging off, again, ON THE WEEKEND, to see if the manager could find more work for us to do in order to maximize production -the intensity of my engagement created an “every man for himself” culture of spying and manipulating for the individual’s benefit. The more you assisted the managers to the detriment of your fellow analysts (who, for example, wanted to voice their frustrations with the project amongst another) to the benefit of the management -management would not hear analyst criticisms and feedback of being overworked. They just kept on asking for longer hours and more production -this job caused me panic attacks After I quit this job, the sheer stress on my body and mind capitulated. I was mostly in bed for 3 weeks because that’s how long it took me to recover and feel like a person again. -management is so used to dealing with burnt out college grads it’s their job to try to calm them down and keep trained analysts from leaving, and then promptly pushing analysts to overwork themselves again
