Pros

Laid back environment, mostly young working professionals, quite routine once you get used to the software, lots of free time depending on the group/assigned funds

Cons

Promotions depend entirely on the group. The associate 2 in your group has to be promoted or moved to another group before you can be promoted. You may have to ask for a raise/promotion to get the ball rolling.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
