Pros

+ NY office redesign was needed and is very nice + Global organization means you get to meet some nice folks along the way

Cons

- Grossly underpaid for the work I do - Chaotic teams, lots of swirl - Family run business - Loyalty means nothing, folks who have been around for ages have been laid off in the past - Long hours and lots of team swirl
