Pros

Competitive salary and some nice in office benefits

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance; unrealistic expectations; very little room for growth unless you’re willing to work 18 hour days and weekends; senior management are truly micromanagers in every sense! Bonuses are subpar for the amount of revenue this office/firm generates. HR CANNOT be trusted!
