Pros

Great benefits, and 20-35 days of PTO depending on your level. 72 hrs of paid sick time off, and 10 paid holidays. That's about it.

Cons

1) 5 days a week in-office (don't let them fool you), and if you have to be off desk, or on PTO, it's culture to put WHY YOU'RE ON PTO on the cal invite! Legit. People will put Name - OOO (in parenthesis, the reason they're on PTO) 2) Office culture is awful, and leadership is cold and uncaring. It's a very cliquey culture, too. People talk trash about everyone behind their backs but act nice to your face. Managers have their favorites, which they make very obvious; if you're not on their list you will feel it. Most management sits in NY, so they have VPs in other offices reporting on your whereabouts and how you're doing on the team. 3) Not actual recruiting - there are a lot of administrative responsibilities. You will be on more projects than actual recruiting. They love their data and you have to pull a ton of reports all the time. I could go on...
