Pros

The people you work with are definitely above average in terms of knowledge, skills, dedication to their work. I found that everyone was well-read, liked their job and overall was a well-rounded person that knew how to communicate with others, take the initiative. Everyone was really smart. The company still has a small company feel and it doesn't seem to be very bureaucratic. The people are friendly and they help you if you have questions. The HR department is also very friendly and they respond very well to any questions you may have. The company reputation seems to be great at the moment.

Cons

The hours can be very demanding, especially if you are in the portfolio analytics group.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
