Pros

PROS 1) Timely paychecks 2) Finally scratch "Ride ICE RS26 floor scrubber" off bucket list 3) Great psychological conditioning and hardening 4) Over twenty coffee choices

Cons

CONS Quick and dirty.,,, BrainCorp is in a sharp growth cycle. Softbank Vision Fund invested $110 million and that led to a hiring frenzy. Twenty hires a month, no space. Very ugly politics. Management is twitchy. Decisions fall to oddly picked consortiums or an arbitrary unqualified catchall. Dangerous to question or push these decisions. Also, Wag, the dog walking service, got $300 million. (edited)

Pros

Most of the people are really great to work with. You have positive, intelligent, capable, fun and team oriented people, that truly make the company as a whole. Especially the engineers, not management. Catered lunches, abundant food and drink, and for the most part freedom to do your job (depends on team), though some of the managers don't care about your health and micromanage.

Cons

Awful location, traffic is bad am and pm. Similar to another review, I've been working here a little over a year full time. They don't offer competitive pay. Very little work life balance. You can work through Christmas, weekends and nights, and it's expected as if it's the norm. Management won't care. Impossible deadlines, multiple things/projects all due at once and you're in a constant state of fires. Things get poorly prioritized and management will push features and projects, despite not having a current one functioning smoothly. The men's bathroom situation is ridiculous, you have 120 people sharing 2 stalls and urinals.
