Pros

Working with Smart people, interesting topics, coverage to wide range of industries and niches that allow you to understand future career path. Alot of potential. Good jumping stone into a wide range of jobs.

Cons

Micro Management, Poor Upper Management, Focusing too much on optics rather than results and employee satisfaction, no care for employees needs, outdated model of staying back unnecessarily. Work is repetitive and monotonous . Clients don't care.

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.
