Pros
Good brand name for the resume Cool office location Happy hours Decent training
Cons
Below-average salaries Constant restructuring and fear of layoffs Internal mobility is difficult The work you do doesn’t matter as much as your “personal brand” and your ability to network within the company; you can’t advance if your VP doesn’t like you Finance organization is too large with too many teams that do similar things; teams end up competing against each other and sometimes are openly hostile towards one another because of lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities, and because people are protecting their own job security rather than doing what is best for the company Good chance that you will get siloed and end up only focusing on one or two account lines within the P&L, with no exposure to other things unless you can move internally to a new department
