Pros

It's a job and money if you are in need.... not a dependable one since they continuously lay off and hire from the Randstad offshore teams in India. Main perk used to be flexibility and remote work, but they laid off the entire American marketing team last week and half of Data Engineering and other IT teams over the last month, now they are "embracing a hybrid environment". So idk maybe in the offices they have cool snacks or something.

Cons

- your bonus will never be close to what they tell you, if you get one at all. - no meaningful pay raises in 3 years, including after their most successful year in company history. - when people quit they do not backfill the position, they all the responsibilities onto you and your team. - they continuously change internal structures to "specialize" in areas and it causes lots of confusion - managers have little management training and will not support you in growth - they've laid off large groups in the US multiple times over the last 2 years in the field but also in IT, marketing, and elsewhere causing breaks in systems, and a thoroughly frustrated and angry environment - managers multiple times chastise women in the marketing department on their tone and their qualifications, going so far as to rewatch meeting recordings at leadership team's weekly to discuss certain women's tones in which they share their expertise.

Pros

Super helpful, at first. But don't expect that to last.

Cons

Poor communication with recruiters, even at the senior level. Having worked in corporate America for 10+ years, this organization is lacking much needed leadership.
