Pros

-Coworkers are amazing -Snacks, beer in the fridge -Generous time off, summer hours, paid holidays -Stipend for WFH setup

Cons

-Overall, the lack of respect that comes from the top really casts a shadow over the entire company and is what became my breaking point. You can immediately tell when someone has been berated or verbally attacked by the CEO which then affects everyone around them. I'm not able to count how many times I caught coworkers crying, including myself and upper management, only to be told that, "I'm too sensitive, I have a great job at a great company, I'm not actually stressed since I didn't work here during the 2008 recession." -There are a lot of egos that work here. Good luck trying to mention gaps in a project plan or new product because you'll be told you're just not smart enough to understand - especially if you're a woman. -Career development is non-existent, you'll be told what role you're working in whether you want to or not. If not, expect a threat to be fired.

Pros

If in a client facing role, you get to work with clients all across the country which I consider enjoyable. Pre/post COVID there is always booze and snacks available in the office. You will see the value of marketing analytics, as Alight's main product, ChannelMix, and the visuals they build on top of the data provide great insights. This company could be great.

Cons

Two words: Toxic Leadership. It all starts from the top. The leader of this company is the ultimate keyboard warrior, the patriarch of passive aggression, the chieftain of condescension, the superintendent of Slack attacks... I could go on, but the point is at the top of this company, which mind you offers a GOOD product/service, is who I consider to be a petty, uninspiring and ineffective leader. As gravity dictates, sludge rolls downhill. Senior leadership take on the brunt of the toxicity but despite their efforts to contain it, it leaks into their interactions with their direct reports. It’s unavoidable.

Pros

The co-worker atmosphere was pleasant and the perks were nice (snacks, massages, beer, etc.), but they were not enough to make up for the negatives. Seems like it was the adult equivalent of a kid giving you candy so you'll be their friend.

Cons

Open-style cubicles mean you're essentially working in a giant conference room all day. One day you're the golden child, then the next day you're wondering if you'll have a job. On many occasions, an afternoon meeting with a client ended with a next-day deadline for a report, which meant pulling an unplanned all-nighter.
