Pros

People are chill, free beer after 5pm, good benefits and good summer/christmas parties make up a good environment to work. Hours vary from each team but not difficult to handle. Work gets boring sometimes in the slow season but it gets interesting around month end and there is a ton of concepts to learn. Training classes are there if you need help. As long as you show you are willing to learn and work hard, they will recognize you as a hard worker and give you more responsibilities and opportunities. I see that other people who left reviews that working here sucks, but I don't agree. From my experience, working here is really good. I've had yet a lot more positive experiences than negative experiences.

Cons

There is a high turnover rate and a shortage of employees, and there seems to be little communication from senior managagement other than at town hall meetings. I know that they are not obligated to communicate every detail but there have been some topics that employees have been voicing their opinion on but they seem to have been ignoring them. Salary should be higher. There are hardworking employees and senior management says they value all the employees, but the bottomline is the salary and the $$$ does not reflect that.

Basic salary not great, promotions very often based on political motivations as opposed to ability. Communication from management almost non-existent

Pros

- You get a good boss that cares about his/her employees than it's a great company, otherwise best of luck - Come consistently late (15-30mins) to work everyday day because the company is supposedly being flexible - Free beer? I'd personally rather have the cash than this fringe benefit. - You need a job out of college then its a great stepping stone, get your CFA / CPA for free -High turn over twenty something percent if you stay you take on many different roles

Cons

- Bosses not properly trained, learn what motivates or drives employees. - Some team's don't have a culture that makes you want to stay - No overtime if possible for team, therefore you sometimes have unrealistic work expectations - 401(k) matching is pretty low; not industry standard when you compare apples to oranges - Mandatory hour lunch ... this does not promote work / life balance ... so much for the flexiblity above - 9 to 6 work day
