Pros

free lunch, nice free snacks, every healthy beverage you could ever want. Cold brew on tap! 5 weeks PTO. Everyone has a standup desk

Cons

No managerial or leadership training and little room for upward mobility within the firm. Most all roles are filled with outside hires. Company rapidly staffed up in 2019, held a mass layoff in q2 2020, and then continued to hire a few weeks after? And kept interns? Savage! Culture problems outlined in earlier reviews are not exclusive to the accounting department- the permeate the whole company.

Pros

Decent pay Decent benefits Some very nice people

Cons

Major facetime culture - if you are an in office employee there is little flexibility. Very old fashioned company - you have to play the game Management sometimes makes choices that can make employees feel shafted or disrespected
