Pros

Great benefits and a truly entrepreneurial environment...new analysts are given immediate responsibility. More flexible working conditions and fewer hours than is typical in the financial services industry.

Cons

A good place to start your career and learn how to cover an industry, but turnover is high...the better analysts realize that they could be earning much higher compensation almost anywhere else.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
