Pros

A few good folks in the bunch Free food Big parties

Cons

Its like working at a reality TV show. Everywhere you look there is drama and the upper management blatantly ignores the principles/culture for their own interests. The news stories calling this place terrible never get it right when describing what it really is like when you find out how the true core management of the company operates. I worked here for a while and it took a long time away to understand this companies particular style of gaslighting.

Pros

Surrounded by super-smart colleagues who are driven and hold a high standard for their work Clear care for you by management and colleagues (have made truly incredible friends) Great benefits People tell it like it is Constantly put in positions to receive feedback and grow

Cons

Culture can be overwhelming at times (difficult to always be engaged with it) Company is promoting work flexibility and runs shuttles for commuting purposes, but work/Life balance suffers due to location in CT (I live in NYC) Not clear career paths outside of tech/investment communities, which can make it more difficult to carve out future roles
