      constant restructuring

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      *Perks *Brand Name on CV *Has long-term potential if it can become a real company and not a startup anymore *Some really smart people can be found

      Cons

      Reorgs every 6 months regardless of departmental needs. Getting promoted on merit is near impossible. Zombie projects are the norm. Lots of people trying to steal your ideas and backstab you for advancement opportunities.

      Great perks, boring job

      Risk operations associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits package is amazing, even if you're just a temp. Fun atmosphere, always a lot of perks, even if the job itself is boring. Coworkers tend to be friendly peers rather than smarmy corporate types, although there's a lot of corporate lingo around.

      Cons

      Long hours, plus I had to work occasional weekends and holidays - didn't have much of a personal life outside of work. Also gained 15 pounds. Great place to get ahead in business, but not if you've got different kinds of career goals.
