Pros

- Well respected company in the Boston area so after many years of experience at the firm, recruiters knew I had the developed the skills necessary to succeed in any future role. - Competitive benefits which included daily catered subsidized meals and beautiful on-site gym with beautiful views of the city.

Cons

- It's a company that doesn't sleep so balancing work/life was tough in an ever changing environment. In most cases, 3am emails will be answered. - Room for career growth is very limited for assistants. If you are hired as an assistant, you are likely to stay an assistant.

Pros

Big Company with lots of perks, They have a gym, they have a good cafe and an in house barista.

Cons

Know this going in: you are expendable, and loyalty here runs one way. Your job can be gone for any reason, at any time — stellar reviews won't save you. All it takes is some office-politics nonsense and suddenly you're out, no job, no benefits. They will also work you into the ground. On call 24/7. And do not kid yourself — HR is not your friend. They make plenty of promises they never keep, and they'll smile at you while they get ready to cut you loose. Bottom line: squirrel away your money and build a cushion, because they will throw you away the moment it suits them.
