Pros

The only good might be the remote work, but basically, aside from eating and sleeping, don't expect to step away from your laptop.

Cons

Extremely micromanaged environment with very little transparency from top to bottom, super arbitrary decisions, communication was tightly controlled, and it was difficult to understand how promotions actually determined. The culture often felt like a "bro's club" where access and influence seemed to depend more on relationships than merit. It was also hard to develop skills that would transfer to future roles because most of the work revolved around navigating internal processes rather than building meaningful expertise. There was an expectation to be online and available 24/7. The overall environment felt restrictive and draining.

Pros

None - total con job using you

Cons

Total con job. Uses your financial background to extract value to their clients. I get it - I'm not ignorant - however the entire selection process was about financial modeling, markets, etc. and then EVERY step after was a protracted process about "fix this rubric" "fix this word" never mentioned in job description or selection process. ~40 hours, $0 because i gave up. And the best part!?!? They'd send you contradictory, overlapping and overly descriptive yet simultaneously imprecise requests for what they want, from multiple people. They'd literally send me a 5 minute video per person, where it's clearly more efficient if they fixed it themselves, and we could each specialize in our individual AOI and provide value.
