Pros

Strong, profitable company that has opportunity to really grow admist troubled investment management industry. There are also excellent benefits. The salaries are average at best but the bonuses tend to make up for it and are above average for similar positions at other companies. The new building is very nice and the company is very supportive of continuing education.

Cons

Long work hours and flat organizational structure meaning few opportunities for advancement. The company has grown faster than could be managed effectively and is now going through some growing pains. There are a lot of fiefdoms which are all treated differently. Think carefully about which division to join.
