Pros

Its a stepping stone in my opinion. If you are a recent graduate its a good way to learn a lot from those who have been there for many years. The environment is very fast paced. Some of the older people working there, I have no idea how they were hired. Frankly they are incompetent. The compensation is much better then Merill but don't stick around with this company for too long.

Cons

Lots of strong headed people in the office, people think they are something since they come from Goldman or other major investments banks but just do your work, put your time in and get the hell out.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
