Vantaggi

There really weren't many pros. The staff in the medford office is at least mostly decent to each other. It won't last very long since management has a proven track record of laying off or firing lots of employees. It's almost guaranteed you will lose your job in less than a year.

Svantaggi

This was the worst professional experience I've ever had. The company has been on a steady decline since the 2008 stock market crash and has never really recovered. Management lied like crazy in the job interview then screamed for the next year in an effort to force insane amounts of work out of the engineering staff that they don't have the money to pay for. Whatever you do don't go to work for this company. It's a miserable sweatshop where your life will be a horrible nightmare.

Vantaggi

Learning opportunities. First Marblehead is ahead of the curve in defning an emerging industry. There are tremendous opportunities to explore, experiment and define success. The caliber of colleagues is simply fantastic. People are tremendously smart and fun to work with. There is a very collegial atmosphere and a terrific social community.

Svantaggi

Industry turbulence. Unfortunately the credit markets and regulatory environment have dealt First Marblehead several body-blows recently. There has been extreme turn-over and massive layoffs this year. The return of the former CEO, Dan Myers may provide a shot in the arm and a return to solid growth. Dan is an unpredictable maverick with an "in crowd" and an "out crowd". He'll clean house, but there may be opportunities for new employees to rebuild FM back to its deserved glory. Its a challenging, dynamic environment that does not place a premium on communication from Sr. Management or standard management practices -- work/life balance, benefits, career development etc. Its kind of the Wild West and Dan is the sherriff. Hope he likes you and buckle in for a wild ride.
