Pros

Great lower Manhattan location Open office space plan; easy access to all levels of mgmt Worked with a small team. Everyone was pleasant

Cons

Absolutely no company culture! Very corporate and dry dry dry! The recent merger created an "us" versus "them" attitude. Worked long hours with below market pay. IT provided terrible service. And there's no real summer hours. It's a gimmick to get you to work overtime without the pay.
