Good rep/returns; REPE team seems good but with poor upper management which seemed to care about building prestige over hiring right, i.e. cared more about where you went to school, gpa, and previous experiences, over some of the qualities which we can all agree on are more valuable/important at the analyst level (motivation, culture fit, everything else except gpa...)

 

When i think of AEW I think of extremely average, borderline subpar. So this definitely isn't a glowing review if that's your benchmark.

Oh interesting the incoming analyst who doesn't know shit about fuck has a wrong opinion. Guarantee whatever dog ass shop you're coming into pays less than the Analysts at AEW. Their analysts are prolly a good bit quicker too, this I am sure of
