Pros

- Great company culture and awesome colleagues. I have yet to meet a single a**hole here (pardon the French), and everyone is genuinely interesting, fun, and intelligent. - Gain exposure to pretty much every industry under the sun. It's easy to go into a 'no research, just cold call people' mindset, but being curious about every project you come across and actually researching/digging keeps the day-to-day interesting. Enormous learning opportunity with the right mindset. - High transparency in terms of performance, feedback, and what it takes to get to the next level. - Company is very aligned in terms of incentives. Everyone from the executive team down to the entry level analyst level is encouraged and rewarded for generating calls. - Rapid growth (the NY office has more or less doubled in size since I joined). This means more opportunities for those who are willing, dedicated, and capable.

Cons

- Monthly targets can at times be stressful, especially if there is client slowdown which you are unable to control (i.e. Private Equity client not looking at deals, Hedge Fund client focused on quarterly earning reports, etc.). - On the flip side, when you're swamped with projects and/or have a few urgent projects come in late in the day, your work-life balance can go down the drain for a few days. - As was mentioned in another review, learning curve slows down from the 9 month - one year mark, unless you want to manage your own teams.

Pros

Lots of like-minded graduates, good office location, relatively accessible senior management, exposure to a variety of industries, plentiful opportunities to build good soft skills via phone contact with investors and experts

Cons

- The role doesn't equip you with any technical skills, making it very hard to find roles you qualify for when thinking about exit opportunities - The nature of the work can be very basic and mentally challenging; it is encouraged for research associates to read around client requests, but in reality this really only handicaps you, giving you less time to focus on setting up calls - the sole metric of success at that level
