Pros

Very bright people, some nice ones too. Free beers on a Friday afternoon and enjoyable monthly socials.

Cons

It simply does not live up to expectations. You don't learn about the financial industry because the financial establishments that hire you (that do not 'partner' with you, be honest please) only tell you the bare minimum about the projects or products they're looking into. As a research analyst, your job will be to conduct very fast paced Contract Recruitment. That really is all. I think it's unfair that prospective employees are told otherwise.

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
