Pros
Standard office perks and benefits (Alcohol in the office, table games, sporting event tickets, etc..) Friendly environment and collaborative team members. Decent pay. Perfect place to hone your skills on analyzing and manipulating data for your next job.
Cons
No matter how hard they try to comb the office with games/activities it is still very dry and boring. They try to display a hip environment but upper management manages to squeeze the personality out of you. The managers attempt to share personal stories but it's all a facade that you'll quickly realize when you mistake them for friends. Working there made me feel isolated by design. It felt like managers are following a guideline that required them to ask mundane questions to interact with us and would prevent any real human interaction. Managers are in their own little bubbles and only go to lunch together so it's easy to feel excluded. It removes any opportunity to build a good work relationship with your superiors (mentor). This can be interpreted in many ways but I'll leave that up to you. Vacation/sicks time is unlimited !!! sounds great unless you're worked like a dog and never take vacation. When you leave Vac/sick time is not paid out so make sure you take it. Fake stocks are given to you at hire and other times. Like vacation/sick time they're worthless once you leave. (They never tell you how many shares exists or what they're worth) Leave your personality at home or you'll have to pay a visit to HR. It's funny that they push the limits with their creative but god forbid someone joke in the office or hug a friend. Meanwhile upper management is cursing, screaming, and is condescending towards employees but no one bats an eye. Not to mention the banging/kicking of desks by angry upper management reacting to an employee screwing up. There's also a few inappropriate male magazine ads on some managers desk so you can see the inconsistency with HR. Nepotism is also definitely at play and while no one really confronts the issue they are all well aware that it exists. It's one of those things that everyone knows about but doesn't discuss.
