Great work/life balance and emphasis on celebration in the workplace In depth partnership with cross-functional partners makes for very broad involvement in the business Finance is a tight-knit and welcoming community, with college recruiting, on-boarding, and professional development largely organized by people within the function, creating a real feeling of ownership within the organization.

Cons

Can be very hierarchical, with opaque advancement policies, making it frustrating to figure out how to distinguish yourself as a high achiever
