Pros

A great place for new graduates looking to gain experience by doing a wide array of very interesting and rewarding work, all the while developing marketable and profitable skills and a sense of achievement. Acumen also shows an interest in employee feedback, and makes changes accordingly. Acumen also offers different career paths depending on employee skills and preferences.

Cons

Less than optimal location for commuters. Progress as an employee within the firm can feel a bit sluggish at times. You may wind up working on projects that do not take advantage of your skill set and limit your learning potential.
