Pros

Summer Fridays came back Health insurance is decent

Cons

Everything else. This company has left me a absolutely battered and bruised. It’s hard to even write all of the cons. Every time I see a new hire I think “did they not check Glassdoor?” Because all the bad reviews are true. This place is an absolute mess. I’ve been here for almost 5 years and they’ve gotten progressively worse. I promise you, this isn’t a fun challenge. The brand names on your resume aren’t worth it. RUN before you’re a miserable carcass of a human, so under appreciated and burnt out that you can’t even find the energy to update your resume to get the heck out of here. It’s after midnight on a Friday night and I’m in tears, absolutely exhausted, writing this. I’ve been working here for over five years and am stagnant. Promotions don’t exist unless you’re an absolute suck up - and that’s not because of covid. Our company values do not exist and I’ve been hearing for years they’d be updated, but I couldn’t tell you a single one. We make a show of Diversity & Inclusion but every time I turn my head we’re hiring a white European man, so give it a rest.

Pros

friendly environment, Summer Fridays, Happy hour, Friendly people, casual dress code, food every now and then

Cons

This is not a place to build a career. Favoritism, promotions handed to same group of people. you are getting paid no where close to the market, if you work here please check same position in companies near by. Management is clueless. Foreigners being brought in on transfer Visa and giving management position to save money, no special skills required. I highly discourage professionals to apply here as the turnover is crazy. We had over 10 employees leave within the past few months and many more to come. They have no consideration to their employee needs to talent retention and then wonder why the company is suffering. HR will reply to this review asking to address my concerns with HR and Managers but unfortunately after we did a feedback focus group, nothing changed and pay is still poor. The increases don't cover cost of living and a lot of people can barely afford rent on that salary.

THE WORST company I have ever worked for

Pros

Good compensation, nice offices, great benefits, PTO, summer Fridays and a big name on your resume. Because it's such a bloody mess and they are so short staffed, there is good opportunity to learn and work on projects (if you can find the time after having to create endless presentations to update management on why the businesses are declining).

Cons

No training, no onboarding. They do not invest in their brands or their people. It is a bully culture and everyone is stressed out, burnt out and covering their butts from all of the finger-pointing. People are leaving and not being replaced. Round after round of "restructurings," people getting pushed out, everyone expects bad news whenever there is an announcement. No spending of any kind allowed. Very poor communication, which might not be a bad thing because certain "leaders" should not be leading and are not inspiring. They don't pay their bills on time so vendors don't want to work with the company.
