Pros

-People in the Boston office are great -Very flexible hours -Pay is good for what you're actually doing

Cons

-Penny pinching everywhere, including the backing of growth initiatives -Targets are a sham because they are given to you so late into the year (usually April/May) -Bureaucracy everywhere. Even in front-office roles, client activity will get held up due to back office shenanigans. -Company does not have your best interest in mind. Period. Only thing that matters is the operating margin. -Can't trust upper management to get things done on your behalf -Bonus comp is paid well after year end (Feb) so you can't jump ship easily when the rest of the industry is searching in Dec/Jan -Want you to get a designation (CFA, FMP, etc), yet only back one attempt per test. Rest of industry knows how hard these tests are and backs multiple attempts usually. -There is no company culture, and morale about the company is low because management reats lower level so poorly (communication not being consistent/clear, cheap) and because of asinine internal processes

Pros

Great company if you are the share holder or if you are the client.

Cons

If you are a tech person then you will be in the bottom of the food chain. Most of the experienced and talented developers have left and leaving every month. They are also slowly killing the old culture that made me pick this company when I was looking for a job. Some senior upper management officers are biased against women devs.
