Pros

Free coffee, easy commute and looks good on a resume.

Cons

The list is really infinite. When your manager is playing favorites to team members who are down right nasty and do not value any one else's time, things get frustrating. I sincerely believe that most people here are mentally unwell. The sense of complete urgency over ridiculous tasks is bizarre and makes me think people need bigger problems in their lives. Titles here mean nothing because all the jobs are the same - the only difference will be salary. There is little to no diversity, in the sense that you will work with privileged, upper-middle class white people who find absurd things to complain about and find fault with. The white privilege in this place was absolute disgusting and it made me ashamed to be apart of it. The environment is so toxic. People regularly are hiding back tears because the demands are ridiculous and their peers/manager's have no respect when speaking to them. This is a great place to waste your time and develop no real skills that you can use anywhere else after the age of 25.

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
