Pros

Genuinely nice people, variety of projects, party culture if you want to find friends at work

Cons

Seriously silly promo process that requires every employee to own large internal projects that end up being vanity projects solely for promotions and waste everyone else’s time. Very popularity based: old boys culture - some of the people in leadership were such a joke it was hard to take levels seriously when alll that mattered was tenure. Lastly, bonuses were a scam. You could work 300 hours more than someone in a year and get $2k for that, not worth it.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
