Pros
-People in the Boston office are great -Very flexible hours -Pay is good for what you're actually doing
Cons
-Penny pinching everywhere, including the backing of growth initiatives -Targets are a sham because they are given to you so late into the year (usually April/May) -Bureaucracy everywhere. Even in front-office roles, client activity will get held up due to back office shenanigans. -Company does not have your best interest in mind. Period. Only thing that matters is the operating margin. -Can't trust upper management to get things done on your behalf -Bonus comp is paid well after year end (Feb) so you can't jump ship easily when the rest of the industry is searching in Dec/Jan -Want you to get a designation (CFA, FMP, etc), yet only back one attempt per test. Rest of industry knows how hard these tests are and backs multiple attempts usually. -There is no company culture, and morale about the company is low because management reats lower level so poorly (communication not being consistent/clear, cheap) and because of asinine internal processes
