Pros

Opportunity to work on challenging tasks. Exposure to fast-paced corporate finance and accounting operations.

Cons

Performance is often not recognized or rewarded unless you threaten to leave. Leadership frequently tolerates high turnover, resulting in reliance on expensive contractors to fill gaps. Lack of clear strategy or consistent leadership; management resists feedback about unrealistic deadlines, even when resources are insufficient. Workload can exceed 80 hours per week to compensate for understaffing and turnover. Culture is extremely negative and feels exploitative, prioritizing output over employee well-being while presenting an image of being “smart” and efficient.

Pros

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
