Pros
The other research staff is great, and thursday happy hours are a fun chance to talk with other intelligent 20-somethings. We frequently go out to different NYC bars or order in -- either way, its usually a fun time. Also, you'll gain a fairly broad understanding of many different industries, giving you a generalist background.
Cons
The biggest con of this job is the management -- they tend to be very micromanaging on projects (updates every hour!). Additionally, there has been a revolving door of associates for the past 3 months, with someone leaving almost every week. Although we have been able to rapidly hire new people, with that level of turn-over, the office has a "crisis mode" feeling and makes the office environment quite tense. Some of the largest accounts are now being handled by people who have only been with the company for 3 months because they are the most senior person on the team.
