Pros
Pay is good, benefits good, good chance to gain experience if you can stomach it
Cons
"Not a bad company if you need experience "(The culture is clicky - If you're not part of the "in" crowd... you're out)!" Offices - jammed like sardines (cubicle on top of cubicle). Its hard to concentrate - they intermingle department cubicles instead of segregating proper departments. Departments who communicate with clients all day are next to Marketing positions who do not. Open the pocket book and move to a bigger building. Also, the ugly loud prison door sound of the main door (click - click), with a long 9 hours at that consolitary confinement cubicle. I also don't believe in the values of a company who's CEO on-boarding Youtube pep-talk ramps your excitement up, only to drop the ugly truth (indirectly) about the company. I was getting excited as he talks about the company, vision and mission; the welcome given to new hires, and how they expect us to make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes and gain expertise. He also stated they give you the tools to succeed (WRONG!- clueless, CEO is in San Fran). It is the total opposite. They set you up to see if you will fail. I guess this is their strategy to determine if you are a success or failure. Mid level management will lie and tell you the company is laid back (WRONG). They are very laid back for mid level managers, but will fire you in a heartbeat. Towards the end of the pep rally (CEO) he says - we do fire people! WHAT DID HE SAY - I thought?. I went back and listened again. I thought in all my years in many positions, including an HR managerial role, I would never say those words to a new hire. You don't enforce termination before a new hire starts the position. They want you to come in looking over your shoulder before you even start. I knew at that point there's something wrong with this company/culture. After working a few weeks I was already looking for another company because of the ugly atmosphere. Many unhappy people - many who would not even say hello. They continued to say they were growing fast, although I noticed there were twice as many people leaving weekly. We received a weekly email welcoming the newbies, and a found farewell to those leaving. There were always 2 to every 1 hired leaving. The last 3 weeks I was there, 6 to 8 employees were leaving weekly (extremely high turnover), and only 2 to 4 were on-boarding. If you enjoy working for a trigger happy (Your Fired!) upper HR who has no clue at what is really going on, then go for it. Needless to say midlevel management is too inexperienced. Also, get an experienced Senior Analytics manager. The current data direction is overkill. 90% is insignificant. I met some nice people - at least a few people who would talk, but most employees were unhappy. If you are a true professional it is highly advisable to pass on this company.
