Pros

They offered competitive pay. VP and AP are very talented, bringing in plenty of projects and keep clients happy. Your talent will be of great value. Good bonus twice a year based on performance. Managers create opportunities for growth and promotion from within. All you need to do is to work with your heart and be a great team player. Great people, cultural food events that bring employees together - Thanksgiving Potluck, year end party on a boat, volunteer, halloween costume contest, pumpkin carving competition, etc

Cons

Not for everybody. Fast paced, requires quick learning or experience, or willingness to learn and grow.
