Great but tough place to work

Pros

Pay for performance culture, intense environment with high expectations, well paid

Cons

Working with colleagues in Newport Beach means the "end of the day" can be long, hours generally are long, lots of senior management turnover when I worked there, very unlikely that you will be promoted to VP or above without MBA

Pros

Macro thinking. Great pay if you’re in product, account management, and PM and VP or above.

Cons

Zero upward mobility if you’re part of the pre-MBA crowd. Promotions are based on time for juniors and politics for mid level and above. Analysts and associates are made to feel they’re lucky to even have the opportunity to work there. No chance to move between product/pm/account management groups. For proof look at the number of senior leadership who started as analysts, you’ll find none. Vastly underpaid compared to similar buyside and sell side roles.

Pros

This is a great firm for individuals that want a company who will invest in their talent. Flat organization that offers plenty of opportunity for interaction with other departments and senior members of the organization. Fair amount of autonomy in managing your day and sales territory. Competitive salary. Good people.

Cons

New CRM systems recently introduced so support issues were difficult to resolve early in the process.
