Pros

Overall good company to work for. They have good benefits and are currently expanding benefits like maternity/paternity leave. Flexible about online/hybrid work. Fairly transparent about wages, and executive level is accessible for such a big company.

Cons

I wish the promotion cycle was more flexible - they only do raises or promotions once a year in October. They also think they're creating positive change in the world, even though their clients include Exxon, Nestle, etc.

Pros

I love the firm and the job. Outside of salary, good benefits

Cons

AAEs get paid very little, especially considering we are in NYC. Your experience is very dependent on your team. I'm expected to work 9-6 and often after 6 as well, but we do get overtime for some of it, but they have to raise rates with inflation because 45k is no longer livable in NYC. Also a ton of emails/notifications that come in late, so even after a late sign-off, you feel obligated to respond.
