Pros

Salary and benefits are decent. Many of the skills acquired are transferable to other companies / industries.

Cons

Some of the work can get monotonous, making you feel like a robot. Research Managers are constantly stressed out, placing unnecessary pressure on Associates. They also like to take all the credit for successful projects. Management doesn't seem to think the extremely high turn-over rate for associates is an issue, so they need to work on getting that fixed by creating upward mobility within the organization.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
