Pros

Mature and professional environment. The office is very international and has a huge variety in the academic and professional backgrounds of the people working here. You are allowed a lot of responsibility early on with the way you work and the high profile stakeholders you work with. The progression and development opportunities are also impressive. For the most part everyone is very approachable and a lot of people have made friends during their time here.

Cons

It can sometimes unclear on who makes decisions and who you need to approach. Work life balance is generally good but in peak periods you are expected to work late.

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.
