Pros

Work life balance is good. Summer hours. Good midtown location. Lots of really nice people who are very good at what they do.

Cons

Salaries are low. Lots of meetings. I think that you are either "in" or you are "out". I think that if you are not in with the right people, you might have a difficult time moving forward in your career regardless of talent or hard work. But that is often typical in Corporate America, right? Employee work spaces were kind of tight. Lots of people working in a small space.
