Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoy your role and feel that it provides an opportunity to learn about several different industries. Employees in entry-level roles also have the opportunity move up into client-facing roles over time. For better transparency and understanding of the organization and the career-growth process, you may confer with your team lead, who is always available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. We encourage you to take part in open communication as it is a part of our company culture.

Pros

- Friendly, relaxed office culture - More of a 9-5 job than other expert networks - Quick promotion for high performers - Lots of opportunities to move internally - Diverse client exposure Overall, this is a pretty good place to work, especially after you "survive" the entry level role. FWIW, 90%+ of the reviews here are for the entry level role, which, admittedly, is tough but essential to the business model. Once you start to manage client relationships it's a solid firm to hone your skills and grow professionally.

Cons

- The RA role sucks - it's great exposure for an entry level person, but it sucks. It sucks at all of our competitor firms too. High pressure, rote, dumb work. The firm could do a much better job of integrating RA's into client facing roles. That said, the role is not without its benefits. The salary is competitve and benefits are reasonably good. Hours are good and you aren't expected to work when not in the office (a rarity these days). - Limited technology to support more flexible work arrangements. The CEO has this hangup about people being at their desks every day. It's not 1990 any more. - The physical office is gross and terrible, but they are moving to new digs later this year.
