Pros

HR and other external departments were great at looking after people's health and well being.

Cons

It took me a while to heal after leaving this company, mainly because of the direct leadership above me. Leaders that I worked with had huge egos, jwa, and extreme micro-management tactics who were incentivized to push direct reports to their limit. They did not care about mentoring or fostering growth. If they did not see the KPIs they wanted that were completely OUT OF OUR CONTROL, then they personally attacked you by gas lighting you in thinking you could have done more. Months after I left, not fired, the leaders that I've mentioned who have been there for years were pushed out of the company. Good job to HR for pushing that whole toxic jwa out after I left.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
