Pros

Global exposure, different markets, clients, and people. Very intelligent Front Office employees who are very open and great to work with. Looks amazing on your CV and great to bring up at dinner parties...

Cons

Office politics and a very top-heavy structure. People are rewarded based on how much they are liked rather than how intelligent they are. Moving out of Operations is a strict no-go (even CFA participation raises eyebrows). Underpaid, overworked relative to the overall industry. Key dependency on offshore office which destroys client service.

Pros

Great benefits, good pay. The offices are stylish and clean. The animal labs are state-of-the-art.

Cons

Sometimes things just feel a little off. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm sure it's nothing. I did have a conflict with a superior over an ethical issue, but it was quickly resolved and I didn't have to compromise my principles - I even got a pay raise. Now I work closer with the animal labs and pens.
