      Pros

      Great office Great location Casual work environment A lot of work perks associated with the job

      Cons

      Hard work and dedication only get noticed if you are a personal laugh track to a manager The words salary and increase will never be heard together here What is a bonus? I wonder what it feels like to get one Teamwork is nonexistent. Meetings usually involve people trying to look good and sound smart instead of adding any real value to the company I have never actually heard any praise for great teamwork, only individual achievements As much politics going on here as any company I guess This place reminds me of High School because there is a social ladder and the "teachers" don't really do any teaching Turning into a real competitive environment

      A bunch of old white guys stabbing each other in the back

      Pros

      - All the typical benefits of working for a big company like healthcare, social events, etc.

      Cons

      - Everyone in the company is in self-preservation mode. People will only help you if it makes them look good, and no one is willing to make sacrifices for the betterment of the company - Executive team cannot agree on anything so they identify lots of projects every quarter, tell their teams different things and then forget which projects they were supposed to do by the end of the quarter anyways. - Last real goal set failed spectacularly, suffering from a classic case of using the wrong metric to measure success. - No transparency with non-manager employees on what the vision is, what the current financial standing is, how the financial projections were made up, etc. - Overall the company suffers from a general lack of understanding of how to use data and treating their people as 'resources' instead of 'human beings'.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule Pays the bills Talented coworkers Great learning opportunity

      Cons

      Dont believe in the hype. Beyond all the positive press the company gets externally, internally the company is a mess. Company culture is toxic. Lots of office politics. Plays favorites. Lack of growth opportunities. Company changes its strategy and structure whenever they feel like it. Lacks a solid foundation for employees to succeed.
