Mu Sigma Jr. Associate reviews

You have a job, nothing else.

The learning and travel opportunities are tremendous. For the Jr. Associate role, the new hires are flown to India for 6 months (now will be for a year) for intensive training in what is a "mini-MBA." This role gives the opportunity to build life-long friendships with people from around the world. I got to participate in clubs and activities that I know no other company would provide. The company gives hands-on experience right away, even with the employees being fresh out of university. Working in client services as an entry level hire usually means that you are a pencil-pusher and not allowed to have any contact with the clients until much later in the career. Mu Sigma believes in extreme experimentation, allowing new hires to talk to clients just 3 or 4 months in. Mu Sigma may not have the best CEO in the world, but the people in his team directly below him are mostly very good people and leaders. They have great ideas for this company and have a solid understanding of how to properly manage. This company encourages people to work outside of silos, so that an employee will gain skills outside of his studied field. This is great for someone who wants to explore industry horizontals and verticals. This is also something you do not find in many companies. This company is 100% worth the negative stuff. I am a firm believer in having to work your behind off in your first job. Pay your dues and it will pay off.
