Pros

Great benefits - health, dental, vision. Awesome travel opportunities on the companies dime. CEO is there every single day. He's a billionaire and inherited daddy's company, but at least you can ride the elevator up with him and he won't ignore you.

Cons

Still a sleezy corporation. They don't care about you and will get rid of you and call it "restructuring" because they are swiss. This didn't happen to me. Also they went from offering remote jobs, to some remote jobs, to everyone being hybrid, decreasing the remote days, and now everyone is in person except for fridays.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Travel Operations Coordinator in our Boston office. It’s great to hear that you valued the benefits and travel opportunities, which we are really proud to offer. We understand your frustration around our post-Covid return to office transition. Prior to Covid, we had a traditional 5 days in policy for our office-based staff. After Covid, our return to office plan evolved over several years from remote permitted, 2 days in, 3 days in and now 4 days in. This is rooted in our commitment to in-person collaboration within our vibrant workspaces whenever possible. We know that change doesn’t work for everyone. We value the time you spent with us and wish you well in what comes next.

Pros

I had the most amazing teammates!

Cons

Salary, micromanagement, management with fear, no career opportunities, working hours, no work/life balance, prioritizing quantity over quality, taking advantage of young people who are just starting their careers.
