Pros

-Good office location in NYC -Monopoly in Canada -The company has made some headway on the Street but held back by various reasons -I don’t know why people state that 401K is great when it is very standard- it fully vests after a few years -Some teams have good work/life balance

Cons

-Too much nepotism and culture of sponsorship as opposed to talent recognition - Strong favoritism towards Canadian nationals and too much meddling from the headquarters -Subtle sexism in the way of men are judged on potential and women on past performance -The company is trying to promote diversity and inclusion but these initiatives do not seem to work and have no specific goals in place (at least they have not been communicated to the employees) -Unprofessional and disorganized HR -Lack of promotion and career progression although there are some efforts to move people laterally but, due to the small size of the company, it’s fairly limited -Old and inefficient legacy systems -Increased cost cutting

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
