Pros

It's a mutually supportive corporate culture. It's a big company with a lot of complexity and inter-team dependencies, so you find yourself constantly asking questions and seeking answers. This is invariably well- and helpfully received. Also, it's a company that takes diversity, inclusion, and belonging seriously.

Cons

The twice-yearly Performance Management rituals, in which we work to satisfy attrition targets by putting 10-15% of employees (depending on job level) on PIPs based on stack ranking—not necessarily on truly poor performance—are a huge drain on morale, especially for people leaders.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
