Pros

- Opportunity to advance quickly within the organization - Prestigious Client base spanning F500, top investors, and others - Overall culture of empathy and caring across teams - Sense of purpose and belonging with your team/business - co-workers feel like family

Cons

- Can be difficult to translate this work experience into future job given uniqueness of company & responsibilities (working within a knowledge marketplace is a smaller subset of firms compared to... consumer goods, software, etc) - Culture of continuous improvement is real; expect to test new workflows, processes, and ideas on a daily basis. Some ideas will fail - it can be challenging to be constantly evolving/shooting at a moving target - We work with tough Clients - this means you will likely be expected to respond to Clients after-hours/on weekends if you are in a Client facing role

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
