Pros

Good starter job. It's definitely a job for recent graduates. Much of the work population in the Fund Accounting departments are young professionals, so it's easy to fit in with your coworkers. The work isn't hard, so it's a good way to be introduced to a corporate atmosphere. My experience with management in my group has been good. They are always positive, understanding of personal obligations, and are constantly striving to improve efficiency within the group. However, I have friends in other groups who don't share my opinion.

Cons

Extremely monotonous. Once you get the hang of the job, you do the same thing over and over. If you're satisfied with a job that won't challenge you, then Fund Accounting is a good long-term option.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
