Pros

Really fun culture for young hires out of school Lots of opportunity for travel Cool office buildings and locations Work/Life balance is better than investment banking As a rotational analyst, lots of exposure to business functions and highly-experienced leaders Way more autonomy than similar rotational programs at big companies Culture varies by office Smart coworkers

Cons

The further up the chain you go, the more you are exposed to really troubling, basic structural problems within the organization Everyone must bow to the whims of the CEO, who stays extremely removed from employees and cares little for their morale Many non-analysts frustrated with upper management

Pros

Great view from the NYC office. Had a great team which is why I stayed so long (over 12 years).

Cons

No direction, no transparency, no communication from leadership, bonuses cut, and now mass layoffs.
