Good place to start - Associate Charles River Associates Employee Review

Pros

Pretty good place to begin a career after college. Most of the people you work with are very intelligent. Depending on the office and project, can have a pretty good work/life balance. Great time-off and health insurance.

Cons

Everything depends on your project and manager. This in itself isn't a con, but life can get pretty bad if you get on a terrible project. Junior staff are pretty much expected to leave for graduate school at some point. Again, not a bad thing, but not a great job if you plan on working your way up from the bottom.
