Pros
The employees who aren't on the leadership team are rockstars.
Cons
The founders made the mistake of promoting some pretty unqualified people into leadership positions, giving them power over others that they definitely shouldn't have had. It was often used manipulatively, and it made for a toxic workplace.

Some talented coworkers and opportunities to work on high-impact client accounts.
Cons
Leadership felt deeply dishonest and politically driven. I experienced what felt like a sustained effort to push me out rather than support me, despite strong performance. The culture normalized burnout, lacked emotional safety and employee well-being often seemed secondary to optics and client retention. Diversity within the company was extremely limited with bro culture being the status quo and it was difficult not to notice that the few employees of color were ultimately all laid off.
