Pros

Laid back work environment Fun people to drink with

Cons

Horrible pay (they grab kids fresh out of college and offer them anywhere between $28k to $32k as an entry level salary). Your pay will increase about $1k per year thereafter. Work is hard to stomach going into each day because, put bluntly, Agora is a spam email business masquerading as a financial publisher. I list Agora's "laid back culture" as a pro, because, well, it is. At least, at first it is... However, as you start progressing through your career, the fun and games start to wear on your psyche, and in a very real way. It's as though you died during your college graduation party, but nobody told your spirit about it. So your spirit just went on and applied for a job at Agora, only, years later, it discovers Agora isn't real. Instead, Agora is a twisted realm of Greek Life Purgatory that you suffer through before you earn your wings.

Pros

You'll learn a ton and be given a lot of leeway to implement your own ideas. You'll also have a name on your resume that gets noticed by recruiters and future bosses. Working here was a major turning point in my career.

Cons

Management will make or break your ability to get anything done, and some Agora divisions are run better than others. A few have struggled in recent years and even folded. Do your due diligence.
