Compensation, senior exposure, heavy exposure to live deals

Downers

Work life balance, work life balance, and work life balance, plus extremely demanding senior people, with little understanding for errors made.

Comments

You'll receive great exposure to live deals and extraordinarily smart senior people who are among the best in the world at what they do. On the flip side, those senior people will grind their junior teams into the ground, and will reply with "when I was your age..." stories if you ever mention that you're working a lot.
