Pros

- great office location, very convenient - opportunity to deal with clients directly from the start and build relationships with them - with the junior all the way to senior level clients - fun and driven colleagues

Cons

- high internal politics; perception is a big thing there - repetitive work - employees are valued based on the numbers, as opposed to the qualitative aspects (alot of $$ is invested in tracking your volume etc) - alot of facetime needed to put in (thus going back to point on perception) - not much emphasis on employee retention -- average turnover in Asia offices is 1.2 years - very process-driven culture and work - at times may slow down the delivery of product - hierarchical team structure

Pros

overall nice people/work environment. good medical coverage. opportunity to meet top executives, if this counts.

Cons

office politics is above all. plus no real experience/knowledge gained. repetitive work that doesn't help with personal growth. need to deal with angry clients/experts all the time. compliance treats you like a criminal. astonishing turnover is enough said

Pros

Reasonably fun people to work with. Great plat form for self-learning.

Cons

The organization structure makes little sense; Leadership reflects culture- which is extremely judgmental, nontransparent. The team is just too young, which is not a suitable place for mature people.
