Pros

Good working environment. People are bright and laid back but hardworking. Is a driven culture and very competitive. Be prepared to learn.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little bit superficial. Make sure you are going into the industry for the right reasons because it is difficult on you.

Pros

- Compensation is directly related to your performance. Work hard, get rewarded - Lots of opportunity for mobility

Cons

- Working in back-office operations, you sort of get sick of telling people you're not one of "those" who are making 600k+ bonuses. - Back office doesn't seem to hire as selectively as the front-office. You'll find a higher chance of working with folks you would least expect to work with at a firm this calibre.

Pros

great benefits and vacation, utah is a good place for families. the culture strongly influences this office in a good way.

Cons

pay isn't up to par. most jobs can be done by college grads and the management doesn't add much value.
