Pros

* People are smart and nice, you will meet a lot of international friends * Salary is quite nice for a fresh graduate. (25-30%% more than market average)

Cons

* First of all, this is a sales and personal assistant job, do not let the website fools you (all you do is calling people saying the same pitch, you do not learn much about industries ) * Second, EXPECT TO BE ON 24/7 (work at night and weekend - still you have to be in the office 9-6), you are the personal assistant of your clients, have to deal with them during weekends. EVEN ON YOUR HOLIDAY , they expect you to catch up and know what is happening * NOT competitive fringe benefits (medical insurance, holidays etc) * NO ways to punish clients even they reschedule an advisor million times and decided to cancel the call at last. YOU HAVE TO endure the anger and disappointment of the advisors due to the decision of clients. * OVER- AMBITIOUS top management, always say they want to double the size every year, without thinking much about how to retain and develop people. NOT a mature management system, people who are managers do not always know how to manage * the internal system and conference bridges always have problems * NOT many ways out once you are there for couple years, unless to go into Sales (Hence, turnover rate is really high)
