Pros

Love how everyone respects one another. Fun exciting work environment. Flexible work hours. Have the opportunity to learn something new about the industry each day.

Cons

Salary is low compared to other companies. Need to have better tuition reimbursements. Currently it's 5,000 max for a yr and you have to remain working there another year in order to get it.

Pros

Well-established institution with a 200-year old history Opportunity to work overseas Good place to learn basic financial reporting and pricing skills

Cons

Not an intellectually stimulating environment; corporate culture is anti-intellectual, more oriented to sports (especially golf tournaments and the like) Quality of middle-management uneven at best Company doesn't retain the most talented people - they become bored and frustrated Company balks at paying overtime, despite the heavy work load Senior management too isolated from the rank and file

Pros

Good first job for recent graduates. Large variety of options for types of work. Well respected company, and it is known worldwide.

Cons

Some people will not enjoy how corporate things are. It can be hard to stand out with over 20,000 people working there.
