Pros
- You won't find a better group of people or work culture - Great work/life balance (Typically ~50 hours/week, and rarely, if ever, on weekends). - Many opportunities to raise your hand and get experience outside of your core responsibilities. - Opportunities to travel and build a strong network - Direct exposure to senior partners. - A leader in its niche industry and still experiencing rapid growth
Cons
- Compensation is on the low end, but good luck finding a comparable job in San Diego. - In your first stub year, don't expect more than the agreed target bonus, even if you outperform (mine was even slightly rounded down). This isn't an issue after the first year as people are generally happy with bonus outcomes. - Some aspects of the work can be monotonous, but if you're self-driven there are plenty of opportunities to engage in interesting projects.
