Pros

Nice office location and facilities

Cons

Lack of career progression, promotions completely based on favouritism. Lots of promises that never materialise. Constant restructures and lay offs. Absolutely zero job security. Toxic environment, employees feeling incredibly stressed and low. The office is generally a miserable place to be. Lack of benefits and low pay. Benefits are slowly being stripped away by the new leadership team. Lack of transparency from the leadership team, chaotic decision making and so out of touch with their employees. I would really recommend thinking twice about taking a job here - it will be a complete waste of your time and you will be constantly worried about losing your job. Find a role that offers clear career progression at an organisation that will invest in you.

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
