Great Support and Opportunities

Pros

Very supportive team that encourage you to develop your skills and provide opportunities for you to do so. I was always asked what my goals were and everyone would help me achieve them. The experience I was offered is invaluable and I would have struggled to find that elsewhere. There is a mentor program which is great, however I found in my team everyone acted as a mentor and if I had any questions there was always someone to help. I was given feedback regularly and felt valued for my work. I also found everyone very friendly and it was a comfortable working environment. There are regular social events that allow you to get to know everyone in a relaxed setting.

Cons

There can be long hours and sometimes the level of responsibility I had made me feel a bit pressured.

Pros

Prospect is a growing firm that's maintained its family-run feel. Employees are part of something special - surrounded by driven, intelligent, forward-thinking colleagues and an accomplished leadership that never tires of looking ahead. Employees are well-compensated and welcomed into the Prospect family; everyone is encouraged to attend firm-wide annual events. The views from the office are the best in New York City.

Cons

Work/life balance varies depending on your role. Thrice-weekly firm-wide conference calls are often lengthy!
