Not worth the pay or the skills you obtain

Pros

Most of the people here are incredibly nice. They bring in food pretty often which is nice to have.

Cons

The work you are doing does not translate well into finance or accounting jobs at all almost. You will not learn financial statements, accounting concepts, etc. You will only learn data analysis and SAS. You spend 80%+ of your day in the SAS coding language. Your coworkers will make you feel bad for asking questions. There is an incredible amount of work, and the pay is far below what it should be, as a new grad can expect 70k starting for entirely too much work. You can find jobs where you make 10k less but work 15 hours less a week easily in this area. Also, since turnover is rather high they tend to hire international students, as international students can not quit or they will literally have to leave the United States. Kind of a red flag to hire people who can not quit and find another job elsewhere.

Long hours, low pay

Business Outlook

Pros

You can't help but gain a lot of experience because you'll be working a lot of hours. Equity Methods also has good professional training; they are striving to offer a 'white-glove' service, and they certainly achieve that. Challenging, interesting, and niche work. A lot of the work is building reports using SAS. They don't require you to know how to code before starting and they will train you.

Cons

Very long hours, especially for the compensation: I worked an average of 65 hours per week. It doesn't get better as you progress through the company: senior consultants are also working long and stressful hours and are poorly compensated for the industry. Attrition is very high. They hire a lot of people every year. 25%-50% of new hires are fired within 3 months, and after 2 years only 1 or 2 remain.

Pros

Flexible hours Snacks and food need 5 words

Cons

Flexible hours is also a sign that you will definitely work long hours in a week. 60-70 is expected. Team may not appreciate your work at all if something is not generated as expected. No matter whose fault it is, associates will end up swallowing the consequences from the situation. Not every associate necessarily was given the resources to be successful here. The best thing you can do is to pray that nothing goes wrong/unexpectedly from the client side so that you can safely survive the first year.
