Mixed Bag...Depends on your group.

Pros

Great company culture, opportunities for development, and solid brand.

Cons

Compensation not on par with other financial firms in New York. This is supposed to be offset by a great work-life balance, but that is really a mixed bag depending on which group you work for. Finance teams, in general, don't have a great work-life balance. If that's what you're looking for, join one of the marketing teams.
