Pros

Good firm to begin career in finance at NY City location. Several opportunities to move around the firm offer options to learn industry for newbies.

Cons

Not a good firm for extended career growth. Poor management due largely to high staff turnover and poor ( non-existent) salary increases. No written policy explaining bonus structure, and very poor health benefits and work/life balance.

Pros

Very social atmosphere. Every one discuss every thing other then work. Very enjoying and fun loving crowd!! No pressure of following org specific process. Good onsite opportunities if you are at good terms with managers. You can also look for permanent transfers to other locations like Canada and UK.

Cons

Impossible to switch the technology. Same thing for years will come in your way. Impossible to change the project. Going to spend full employment under same manager. If you ask for change, your year end rating is gone. Appraisal system is useless. Manager will bluntly talk nonsense and say do what ever you want to do, you will get this only. No evaluation system. All on personal preference.
