Pros

- If you're new in your field, you may get enough experience here to find another position in a few months. - You get to work on a few recognizable brands which may look good in your portfolio if that's all you care about.

Cons

- Leadership is sinking the company with a vision of a "New Rain" they don't even believe or understand, and won't be able to explain it if you ask them to. - Leadership lies to employees constantly. - The new Chief Talent Officer works remotely, and her first rule was to forbid Work From Home to all employees, except her, because (and I quote her public statement) "nobody loves rain as much as her, so nobody works as hard as her". - They undermine the doers and promote the talkers. - In 2018, they're consistently hiring 1 Vice President of something per month, while total workforce continues to shorten. - Everybody is jumping ship, even the CDO and Founding Partner recently left the company. - The company is selling itself as the goto for Voice, but nobody in the team has expertise in Natural Language Processing, AI or Machine Learning in general. - Salaries are not even close to industry average. - Glass ceiling for anybody not in the NY office.
