Strong Growth Opportunities
Pros
This is a great company to join fresh out of college. The LDP program is designed to give grads a full view of the company, tech + finance industries and responsibilities beyond a standard entry level job. You will also get the chance to be challenged and work with extremely intelligent people who are willing to put aside additional time to help you develop professionally. Because you come in with other graduates, you also have a strong community of people with similar interests as you. The company is relatively lean, so there are many opportunities to take on real business challenges and improve them. Some rotations also involve global travel, which is a plus for many.
Cons
Some offices are more high pressure work environments than others. There is a visible hierarchy and turnover is somewhat common outside the program. ION is heavily acquisition-focused, meaning many companies are brought together in short periods of time. This makes it difficult to identify a strong company culture.
