Pros

Great place to become a jack of all trades. You'll work with interesting clients and form long term-bonds with your immediate team.

Cons

- Purely political and run by incompetent outside hires in leadership roles - Changes are almost always made for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many - Leaders are either power hungry and manipulative or spineless and allow their subordinates to absorb the impact of bad decisions - No communication among different business units, which has fostered a culture of secrecy and mistrust - Major decisions (like hiring and firing) often come after a single bad quarter. Which, okay. But then they reduce the staff count and expect the teams to still meet targets set prior to the layoffs.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
