This is a place where you are expected to work a lot and you will, most of the assistants work no more than 3 years.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart co-workers Work can be challenging in a good way Good benefits Some teams have good culture (Some do not)

Cons

Team goals are overly ambitious and unrealistic. Callous, interested management. Bill Gross set the tone and it reverberated through the organization. Many managers's main priority appears to be advancing their own careers and care little for those they manage. Negatively impacts team culture. Seemingly everyone is overworked and yet nearly every team is chronically under-resourced.
