Pros

Good firm to begin career in finance at NY City location. Several opportunities to move around the firm offer options to learn industry for newbies.

Cons

Not a good firm for extended career growth. Poor management due largely to high staff turnover and poor ( non-existent) salary increases. No written policy explaining bonus structure, and very poor health benefits and work/life balance.
