Pros

Feels like your still in college. Everyone is young, "fun" enviroment

Cons

It's a call center. There is no research actually involved, it's a well designed scheme. Employee's are unhappy to work there, get micro analyzed, very high turnover. Not sure what actual skills get developed there, any decent consulting firms knows this place is a kind of a fraud and they won't hire you.

Pros

The new office looks nice and that is only positive I can think of.

Cons

They lie about the job details because this is not a finance job. Everyone is on linkedin, google, and monster all day trying to find strangers to speak with the clients. Getting your bonus is harder than you think, esp. if your team does not have any work to do. There is too much disrespect and people play favorites in the office, which is a huge issue that everyone knows about. There is a lot of stress and you can be stuck at work until pretty late often. The people are really unhappy and 15+ people have left in the past 2 months. You will not learn anything useful or gain any real skills, it's a waste of time. I would not recommend this job to anyone. Any applicants should do alot of research on this company and this industry before deciding on applying.

Pros

-Most of the senior staff and back office are in London, which means NYC is primarily composed of young, fun employees -Level of client interaction is significantly higher than you would get anywhere else right out of college -Promotion (new title and marginal raise) is very easy to attain, which can look great on a resume -Weekly happy hours (or at least beers in the office) create a great chance to interact with your awesome coworkers in a more social environment

Cons

-During interviews they describe the work as very analytical. In reality, it's probably 1% analytical, 69% cold-calling people, asking them to enter into a borderline conflict of interest with their current employers, and 30% playing executive assistant between clients who don't respect you and the experts who are constantly in danger of changing their mind -Management is obsessed with quantifying you as an employee, to the point of counting the outgoing calls and getting on your case if you make what they consider to be too few -Pay is very mediocre, and the size of your bonus depends directly on the performance of the other offices -You won't learn skills that transfer over significantly to your future career -NYC is often treated as a sort of unwanted child compared to the London office, despite being far more productive on a per-employee basis (this is beginning to change with the migration of some senior staff to NYC) -Incredibly high employee turnover. Probably half quit or are fired within their first year, and only maybe 10% stick around a full two years.
