Pluspunten

3 Weeks vacation Opportunities to work with some very high profile (buy-side) clients and industry executives - leads to a very valuable network You're given a significant amount of responsibility in a short amount of time A lot of flexibility to manage your accounts and projects the way you please - depending on your group/manager Some great people to work with at the individual contributor level - somewhat of a collegiate environment with people that are very intelligent, motivated and friendly

Minpunten

Work is very mundane and you're asked to perform menial tasks all the time by clients and senior colleagues No career or skills development - management expects people to do what they're asked for a year or two and then move on - attrition is alarmingly high and management consciously ignores it Poor work/life balance depending on your client base, workload is not distributed fairly among teammates Compensation is below market average - bonus is arbitrary and highly dependent on how well management likes you, overly political. Bonus is also significantly below what is initially communicated as a typical range Management is obsessed with short-term metrics that have no clear correlation to business growth, performance evaluation is a joke, promotions and raises almost completely depend on your relationship with some key individuals and how good you are at sucking up

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!

Minpunten

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

Pluspunten

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Minpunten

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
