Business Outlook

Pros

Steep learning curve: working with bright people who are keen to get you up to speed. Challenging enviornment: always expected to perform, which I believe is a positive. Flat structure: everyone is accessible. Great work/life balance, at least in Europe Great opportunities afterwards.

Cons

Associates hardly ever become PMs, AMs. They are mostly stuck in their associates role until they decide to move somewhere else or do an MBA. Too much discrepancy in compensation between people at the top and the rest.
