Pros
- Decent work/life balance & flexibility (largely dependent on team) - Good benefits (would be great with 401k match and more tolerable work envt) - Free drinks (coffee/tea/vitamin water... and for better or worse, alcohol on the job...) - Casual/informal dress code - Nice, open work-spaces
Cons
- I truly believe (& based on my experience, know) that this is a company that will lie, cheat and steal their way to the top. Make no mistake, this is a dysfunctional company, as their reputation in Chicago and attrition rate both speak to. They are known in the local legal community as not necessarily being 'equal opportunity employers' ...due to their riding the fine line between (il)/legality, plain unfair business practices and just being a really horrible company to work for. - Important to note that HR does not serve as any type of intermediary between employee and employer; but rather, solely to protect and mitigate risk for employer. Strongly advise against going to HR (even when you feel there's no alternative/as last resort). (Think Uber. This was my (& others') experience(s), yes, really and truly.) - Harassment, bullying and hostile work environment, accompanied alongside retaliation for those who aim to do something about it. - More frat-inspired work envt than professional work envt. - Warned about incredibly high attrition rate, HR not serving in employees best interest when they should, and "it never has been this bad" all from a veteran... should have listened! Be warned.
