Pros

Exposure to a wide variety of inspiring work/clients Work alongside very talented, high-performing colleagues Continuous learning, challenge and growth Generous PTO and benefits

Cons

It is no secret a VC firm is preparing to sell this company to another in the near future. The focus on productivity and billable hours is out of control, with utilization already way above average. Despite a lot of talk about balance, wellness and mental health, it's truly all about the numbers. I regularly had 8-14 back-to-back meeting days and then had to catch up after hours to get ready for the next day of the same. Naturally no one responded when an account grew and the team was unable to manage the workload any more...and I was replaced by 3 people. The squeaky wheels do not get the grease.

Pros

- Good PTO with paid closure from Christmas to New Years - The people that actually do the work are wonderful to work with, incredibly talented and intelligent, and truly care about the work they are doing

Cons

This is one of the most toxic places I’ve ever worked. Burnout is extremely high. Everything is being done to prop the company up to make it look attractive to investors, but it is creating extremely dissatisfied employees and clients at the expense of this. Don’t believe anything they say about the company values. Your job is to produce and don’t ask questions. Layoffs are frequent and done without thought or understanding of how the work gets done. Remaining team members are left to pick up the slack and try to explain to clients why deadlines are missed and quality is declining. If you value your physical and mental health, do whatever you can to avoid working at this place. The ship is sinking…don’t get on.
