Pros

Good resources to enhance understanding of the business and have a relatively flat structure; Good if you didn't go to a well known college or fresh out of college. Managers are helpful and willing to listen to new ideas; The brand looks good on resumes.

Cons

The work done, at least in operations, is intellectually insulting. A high school kid could do it since it is so repetitive. The system they used is ANCIENT, and office politics is awful. The career progression is tough because it's hard to get recognized since it's not merit based.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
