Pros

Nice benefits. The open office design at 731 Lexington encourages communication, for many people, intimidates some. The Bloomberg terminal is a primary tool of the global financial elite.

Cons

The hours are very long and good work is not always recognized. Responsibilities are not clearly defined for many departments. Communication between departments is erratic. There's a lot of duplicated efforts, reinvention of the wheels. The workloads are heavy for almost everyone, from entry-level to upper-management. A downside of this is that managers are often cranky. New employees in some departments are not given enough direction.
