Pros

Progression is based on merit, you learn new skills after every promotion, and the work environment is very fun. You also get to talk to and sometimes meet with hedge fund and PE investors and pick their brain on what information they need to make a sound investment and how they pick stocks or deals. Most office social events are planned and executed by analysts and associates, so naturally every social event aims to be better than the last. Oftentimes there are colleagues from other offices visiting NYC and vice-versa. You also get to know a large part of the international team through working with them on a regular basis. The work is very competitive and fast paced which makes it fun. The company has an entrepreneurial feel and the senior management team is accessible and helpful. I've always been able to get some of their time when I've needed any type of guidance.

Cons

If you get stuck in your progression the work can get repetitive For many this is their first job out of college and for some of them the transition to professional life is harder than for others, especially when surrounded by other young graduates The work can get stressful as you always have to juggle a lot of things at the same time

Pros

Great for developing skills useful if you're looking to move into the sales or staffing field afterwards. Very nice new office space and fun company events. The majority of people here are great to work with. Get the chance to gain a general understanding of a lot of industries that exist out there.

Cons

It's extremely unethical that the company is not transparent about the Analyst/Associate roles, leading recent grads to be misled that they're taking a step towards developing skills useful in their next finance/research/consulting job. This is strictly a recruiting role. Beneficial if you're looking to move into B2B or B2C sales or staffing afterwards but can actually be a major setback if you're looking to transition into actual consulting, investing or finance. Almost 100% of your day (and night) is spent recruiting, coldcalling, negotiating the lowest hourly rates and scheduling people on LinkedIn and Monster to speak with investors. Work-life balance is poor as you'll find yourself also chasing leads when you're home at night. Calls you set up with clients count as points and you need a certain number of points each month to get promoted and not fired. You don't even get to listen in on the calls, you just schedule them. You have no control over the clients you receive and if they're not looking at deals, you're done. The rapid turnover at this company is unlike anything I've ever seen. Team Leaders playing favorites is almost a given.
