Pros

Good benefits and unlimited sick days. Soho location is good. They have a cafeteria upstairs which alwasys works out well if you're hungry

Cons

Work distribution is pretty bad. I work an average of 10 hour days. When ever I have to walk around to other floors I see half the company on Facebook, where I do not even have time to take a proper lunch break. The pay is aweful.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
