Pros
I’ve been with First IB for a few years now and the people that work here make this place great! Everyone is always cheerful and willing to help out. Small perks like the on-site gym at HQ, free coffee, and the occasional free ticket raffles for pacer games and concerts don’t hurt! I enjoy the fact that we still have a holiday party and other events throughout the year to bring us all together outside of the office.
Cons
It’s very fast-paced at First IB which I think is great since I enjoy being busy and having something to do at all times, but it may be a turn off for some. Things can also change very quickly, so being adaptable and thinking on your feet is a must; I think that’s what makes it exciting and fresh. Clearer definition of roles and clearer career paths would be nice, but is not a detriment.
