Pros

Great benefits, flexible work hours - good work/life balance, a very supportive team, and a warm culture. More vacation/time off than anyone else I know, plus I get to leave at a reasonable hour or work from home occasionally.

Lots of change happening quickly with a relentless attitude from management that this is for the best, and we must happily embrace it or be left behind

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, some interesting work, everyone is helpful and supportive

Cons

There is no real transition to analyst from RA. Compensation is terrible, you can't expect to hire smart, motivated people from good colleges for under $40k and expect to keep them.
