Pros
- travel perks allow you to keep all the miles and points earned for yourself - unlimited PTO - growth opportunities - smart people
Cons
- very hierarchical. Directors and managers don't talk to you. Analysts report to associates and associates will say you may be performing fine to you, then throw you under the bus when anything goes wrong and blame you to managers/directors. Upper management believe them since they don't have any exposure to your work since it is shielded by a middle man (associate) who may twist the story. - horrible hours - low pay per industry standard - they say promotions are based on merit, but really it's luck of the draw. Have to be on the right project with the right opportunities at the right time - there are several young people in the company who are not quite mature enough to have the soft skills required to manage people fairly or adeptly.
