Pros
- some really great colleagues (especially those that start with you via the MDP program) - casual work environment - unlimited vacation/sick days, 6-week paid sabbatical every 4 years - flexible work schedule (WFH, later start, workouts in the middle of the day, etc). - fantastic work/life balance - $1000 educational stipend every year (more if it’s for the CFAs) - patio parties - focus on brand design standards - ethnically diverse - beautiful office, beautiful view, awesome patio, and amazing location - fancy espresso machines on every floor, farmers fridge on the 7th floor
Cons
- salary is low. great quality of life, and if you have a family and come in at a salary you’re happy with, you’re set. if you’re starting at this company as an MDP, you’ll end up leaving before three years because you won’t be able to justify the pay. - lots of deadweight at the top - way too many acquisitions **also, make sure you’re filtering the reviews by location. there are a lot of 5-star reviews here, but these seem to be reviews left by those that are in one of our global offices (mumbai, shenzhen, etc) NOT chicago. so be mindful of that.
