Pros

Worked with great people, made influential connections & relationships, exposure to financial industry, non-traditional format w/more opportunities for projects than the traditional EA role

Cons

Poorly managed, worked long hours, promised projects that never came to fruition, management played favorites and would give certain people all the work and not divide it equally among the team, poor morale among the team that was never addressed, absentee senior management, salary not competitive with other companies for this role

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
