Pros

All my colleagues were super nice, the managers were great and it felt like they really cared about you as an employee and a person, the bonus was great.

Cons

The hours were pretty tough (starting at 5am) and the pay was just ok. The values of the partnership were great in a way, but it did feel like they were in the process of being undermined by top executives, i.e. discussions of people missing out on the bonus if they took more than a certain number of sick days.
