Pros

Great people. Some very good senior managers. Lots of bonding among junior level staff. Company generally wishes its employees well and understands that most of its college-hires will leave for grad school in 2-3 years (and encourages them when they choose to do so). Decent job for someone fresh out of college.

Cons

The intellectual challenge of the work is often trumped up a bit. At the end of the day, you are a middleman and a broker. The first 6 months can be rough as you do all the worst parts of the job. Interns are brutalized (think cold call hell). Company is struggling to redefine itself. It's core product might have maxed out the domestic market.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
