Pros

- Great administrative team at the NYC office. - Great place for career-focused/workaholic personalities, you will be rightly rewarded. - No gender discrimination

Cons

(1) Great Employee Program in place (Volunteer programs, employee feedback loop) but just in the books. Zero work-life balance, it's just a race about doing promptly what pleases the client. Insurmountable work & impossible deadlines - forget having a life outside work. (2) Marketed as having a great culture & values but the only one culture around - get the work done no matter what it takes (sleepless nights, work on weekends, Professional Development coaching just on paper - no one's got time) (3) Less diversity & unclear/unfair rules about the employee benefits for CIG teams

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
