Pros

interesting client base - very fun working with some of the best colleges and universities in the United States

Cons

there is no "plan" - the one product (eValue) is antiquated but is 90% of the way there to being pretty decent. If they just invested SOME money into fixing the gaps instead of throwing darts at a dart board to build a "from scratch" solution that is 45% pretty decent, they might have something. Very frustrating. And a very under-paid employee base.

Pros

If your kink is to create the bare bottom value PPTs with as little white space left over as possible with the same information presented 5X (no literally-my favorite was one classic (and typical) slide with a table of data; a callout box pointing to the table; A commentary bullet mentioning it again; the result also in the hallmark 4 line title of said slide; and the same result footnoted on the slide...oh yeah and all of this was just for a backup deck lol) then this is your dream job. the gig is literally Goundhog day just the same tedious boring low value formatting of spreadsheets day after day under extreme micromanagement. The dearth of analysis occurring in a Finance army this size is actually somewhat incredible. Case studies will be written about this place someday. The good news is that at some point you will wake up and realize you're not as worthless as Ascend finance will make you feel and channeling the power of that realization will fuel you to new heights and dreams.

Cons

Mouse jigglers aren't standard tech issue.
