Pros

- fast paced - young environment, good energy - nice office with nice perks

Cons

- lack of clear direction from management, lack of planning with constant changes that could happen overnight - unrealistic workload, seems like a culture where you have to constantly firefight - lack of recognition in the work done - seem to focus on numbers and $$, not so much about the employees from the management

Pros

Do not let their corporate PPT presentation or structured Greenhouse portal fool you. This company uses an intense 17-page take-home case study to harvest free business consulting. Once you spend days drafting comprehensive solutions for their messy, manual operational bottlenecks, they will completely ghost you. No receipt confirmation, no professional closure.Internally, departments operate like an amateur-hour with a rigid "one person per silo" placeholder structure.

Cons

Compensation packages are severely lowballed, way below market standard. They rely on underpaying young professionals, trapping them under high-pressure PUA tactics, resulting in extremely high employee turnover.If you are an experienced professional, protect your intellectual property. Do not do free work for a company that cheapens skilled labor.
