Pros

Smart, driven colleagues Very merit based environment - opportunity and resonsibility are there for those who put in the time and effort Collaborative environment - upper management takes the time to get to know event entry level employees and often work with them Great place to get your career off the ground, learn tactical skills and get exposure to many industries

Cons

Work/life balance leans towards finance standards rather than the tech culture that we someones feign to be a part of Turnover tends to be high because associates are young but also because middle management is still inconsistent (some are stellar, others are good individual performers but not great people managers) We don't "walk the walk" as much as we should when it comes to being the world's best professional learning platform. We offer our clients many types of learning and training experiences but don't do enough internally, although that is changing slowly

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
