Pros

The team is generally energetic and fun. I received exposure to lots of industries, ideas and people. When I took risks, I felt rewarded even when those ideas did not end up implemented.

Cons

The hours are very long and you are always on call. The biggest cost to the business, by far, is its people and so there is always pressure to take on more then is healthy. There is little room to grow in responsibility after a certain point - too many ambitious people fighting for too few opportunities.

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.
