Pros

There are awesome coworkers, nice views of lower manhattan, job isn't too hard, also free filtered ice/water in the kitchen.

Cons

Poor benefits, health insurance is TOO costly, 401ks are too much, and low salary. Living in NYC is expensive enough as it is, I cannot survive on 30k per year. Also, theres no formal orientation and no time and a half over time pay. Also 2 sick days per year that doesn't roll over? Seriously? Also there is high turnover with some chance for advancement.

Pros

Good people to work with, very supportive, and easy to get projects completed once started. Wonderful project managers. Hang Li is probably one of the best in the industry.

Cons

I am not sure if this is a con per se or just growing pains for the company. Their new process for rolling out new projects through a small approval team slows things down. Many valuable projects never progress beyond being mentioned. I preferred the old way, where I would work directly with Executives and Directors to identify projects based on needs and issues. There was a bit of start/pause/redirect with projects that created issues.
