Decent First Job (Do your homework though)

Pros

Very easy transition from college, coming in and working at a company that is young and fun. The entry level roles are not very hard, and you can get up to speed quite quick. This is the type of job where you get out what you put in - it is not hard to do the minimum and stay, but you won't learn much in terms of transferable skills unless you actually put in some effort. Depending on which group you're in, your experience will vary, but you get exposure to a number of industries and different client types. Other than that, some smart senior colleagues who will be a great resource, and very fun social events in the NY office.

Cons

Fast paced and monotonous work. Super high churn from people getting burnt out or not knowing what they were signing up for (i.e. a lot of cold outreach and being said no to). This role is not as analytical as they say in the interview process - you can make it more like that, but most people are looking for speed and results, so it isn't required. If you hit your target each month, the only thing you're going to get is a higher target next month. If you're looking to get into pure finance, this is not the job for you - you can get there eventually, but its a much more difficult path compared to traditional routes.

The Bridge Review

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The people who work there are very agreeable, and the office culture is very young (avg. age around 25). If you are in Connections, you can get promoted fairly easily and ascend to a management position. If you are in Forum, you should probably try to become a Sector Analyst, which opens up favorable opportunities.

Cons

The pay is pretty low, and regardless of how well/poorly you perform, bonuses and salaries are essentially uniform. The notion that the Bridge is a meritocracy is a misnomer. The work is fairly tedious, especially in Connections (a lot of administrative work). Also, I used to have a manager who lied to me a lot, which was a bummer and damaged employee morale. Now I have a much better manager, which is nice.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We take employee feedback seriously, People Operations are always available to discuss any concerns or issues you may have. Although the role can be at times repetitive, there are a lot of opportunities for growth and progression, I would also suggest discussing these with your manager.
