Pros

- Very nice office - Stocked kitchen with beer for after work (which can be very late) - Good compensation - Frequent company events in and out of the office

Cons

- Upper Management is tenured and out of touch with what is actually going on. They don't add any value and don't do anything on a daily basis besides catch up with people (which helps no one) - Hours are getting longer and your success is largely up to what client accounts you've been given to run - Your interest in specific clients is not taken into account, you're staffed based on organizational needs - It is difficult to keep new employees motivated...consistently hiring curious, smart, driven individuals and then not challenging them creates issues for those trying to lead - The "opportunity" you get to lead is put on top of your other responsibilities so the longer you're here the more overwhelming it gets

All around really great people culture, for the most part everyone is super driven and willing to help You definitley do earn early responsibility especially if you show early aptitude It's fun getting to own client relationship at a young age

Cons

Work and day can be tedious and feel repetitive, you must like talking to people all day, every day The hurdle performance tracking can be stressful for younger Associates Increasingly tighter competition as clients seek to find cheaper alternatives Exit opportunities can feel limited to account management/customer success work
