Pros

The work is very challenging and interesting, and if you get the right managers you get a lot of responsibility and independence very quickly. Pay is very good.

Cons

Some long work weeks, and the management of the company is not great. Economists should not be running the business, business people should! Sometimes frustrating if you are in a non-Boston office since the company is extremely Boston centric.
