Pros

Lots to learn, good place to build foundational skills for a career in comms

Cons

Can easily be overworked due to lack of senior involvement for bigger accounts. Could have more oversight and direction from seniors for work to be properly managed.

Pros

- Office is beautiful in NYC , rooftop open to employees! But that’s about it.

Cons

I was hired as a Software Engineer I but from day one was assigned senior-level responsibilities without proper support, compensation adjustment, or realistic timelines, forcing me to work constant overtime just to keep up while my mental health deteriorated. After two years of this exploitation, the company restructured and brought in incredibly arrogant and condescending managers who actively discouraged career growth, created a cutthroat environment, and treated employees like disposable resources. Despite three years of consistent performance, delivering every project on time, and never missing work, they terminated me without any notice or warning, and even refused to reimburse my final legitimate expenses. This company has zero respect for its employees, unrealistic expectations, toxic leadership, and unprofessional business practices - save yourself the stress and mental anguish by staying far away from this organization.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
