Pros

Some good reasons are definitely the benefits, they offer a very good selection. I would recommend starting out here, getting a year or two, or getting the MBA paid for, doing another year and then moving to either SS Global Advisors, or another location in terms of opportunity for advancement.

Cons

Definetly the salary! Starting at 32000$, it is ridiculously low for Boston! Maybe if you we're living in Iowa or Nebraska this is ok to start, but not in Boston.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
