Pros

Awesome place to start career and overall awesome people to work with. The culture is one of communal learning and getting your feet wet in the industry. Unbelievable exposure to the finance industry.

Cons

Pay disparity is wide between clients and employees. Still wide between employees. There are "limits" set on bonuses and salaries that are not at all tied to overall yearly performance.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
