Pros

Great experience and learning. Admin, analyst, and most advisors are very nice.

Cons

Management doesn’t care about Analyst and are treated as replaceable. You don’t have a voice. They’ll act like they hear you. All they care about is profiting and don’t care how much time they take away from your life. After 1-2 years you cap on what you can really learn, and are better off going to work somewhere that doesn’t use technology your grandparents used. Stay too long and you become out of date with the rest of the workforce. Particularly with technology. They expect you to deliver above and beyond to the client. Meanwhile, everyone below is treated like peasants. Maybe that is what being in an abusive relationship is like.

Pros

Diverse work environment Interesting technical challenges Smart people

Cons

Culture of tolerating abusive jerks. Heavily hierarchical structure it very difficult for a problem to be something that is both "a problem for one person" and "something that one person has the power to solve".

Pros

Flexible work time Good challenging work Team outings and dinners Work From home

Cons

A huge wage gap between laterals and fresh college hires, with the salaries of freshers being way higher. No intent from management for salary correction or equalization.
