Pros

Great company with motivational goals, great benefits, luxurious office perks (dry cleaning, gym, food court style cafeteria, etc.). The company always seems to be growing, ever expanding.

Cons

You won't get promoted if you didn't start in the MTP program. Director levels and higher don't care to understand what is really required of teams' daily tasks, or what it takes to perform said tasks. You ask for help, it will not be given, and it will reflect in the margins - and then they'll raise the margin goal and still won't give you help to meet that new goal.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
