Pros

Excellent benefits (medical, vision, dental, flexible spending, sick/vacation time, FREE METROCARDS!) Salary increments between levels are significant (>10%) Friendly competitive environment (not cutthroat, just enough to motivate you) Knowledgeable, helpful management Short hours Tuition reimbursement High level of job satisfaction

Cons

Current hiring freeze makes it difficult to advance Upper management makes decisions that most often are not based on reality Serious gap in pay between upper management ($100K+) and analysts ($50k) Classic case of "It's not what you know, but who you know" to further your career
