Pros

-Great company culture (young, energetic, etc.) and fun office -Strong development with soft skills (i.e. communication, negotiation, professionalism, etc.) -Incredible talent

Cons

-Very little work/life balance: hours are officially from 8am-6pm but realistically no one leaves the office before 7pm and no one stops working until 9pm/10pm, the expectation is that you're always on -The compensation is actually not that competitive when you break down the fact that you work at least 12 hrs a day -Very "one-track" on professional development (you either become manager or leave) -Day to day can be very monotonous once you get over the steep learning curve

Pros

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
