Pros

the people who do the main ground work, aka account execs through sr manager levels are generally great. there’s a community here, often forged through bonding over terrible management and leaders.

Cons

HR is practically nonexistent, GMoSG makes you go ????? because half the time you’re walking on eggshells around this person. do not be fooled by AD of the fun team. this person may be friendly but they will make a lot ridiculous comments towards you. if you happen to make them upset (usually by doing your job correctly), they WILL complain about you behind your back instead of setting the record straight and talking it out with you like adults. if you happen to be in the same room or within a 5m radius of them, expect your social energy to drain. a good gift for them will be a plant given how much oxygen they waste by talking nonsense and bull. they might not have any friends outside of work. please do not walk the same path i did LOL

Pros

PTO and 401k match decent

Cons

Leadership quality has declined significantly in recent years. Juniors must absorb additional work and compensate for gaps in communication & organization because senior members are all but absent. High performers are rewarded with more work rather than meaningful recognition or advancement opportunities. Being a strong employee just meant receiving a disproportionate share of the workload and not being listened to when change would have been beneficial for my growth. The company is heavily focused on AI at the expense of critical thinking and professional judgment. The emphasis feels misplaced and creates additional rework rather than improving efficiency. Morale is low, turnover is high, and teams are stretched thin. Hiring has not kept pace with turnover, resulting in increased workloads for remaining employees. The culture has shifted noticeably from a collaborative environment to one where many employees feel unheard and disengaged.
