Pros

Free catered lunches! That was pretty cool. You also get free food around the office (so breakfast) and dinner if you stay past a certain time (so always). And HR hosts a lot of events with snacks and drinks.

Cons

The people at Flatiron are undoubtedly very smart, but they are extremely pretentious about their educational and work backgrounds. Many people are coming directly from PhD programs, bringing that culture over and lacking an understanding for what it means to be in the private sector: how to work with other employees, and how to grow talent. Work culture is terrible -- 12-14hr days are normal, and if you're working less than that, then you are clearly slacking off. Managers are cliquey and inexperienced. The company has grown very fast and they are having issues scaling. New people join every couple of weeks and very little is done to get them on-boarded. There is little training on the subject-matter and poor mentorship and leadership. Flatiron has a great mission, and their employees are passionate about that mission. But because of this, politics and internal investment are often overlooked.

Pros

Smart, kind colleagues that all care about the work Inspiring mission Flexibility New CEO/COO have a direction No toxicity

Cons

There are constant changes - reorgs, layoffs, new leadership, etc. Some things are unnecessarily complex and cumbersome but the new direction is focused on tackling this Limited promotions and opportunities for career advancement in general

Pros

Flexible work, anytime and anywhere. Flexible number of hours. Meaningful work. Good managers.

Cons

Terrible pay and poor career opportunities. No raises have been given for nearly 6 years, during which time cost of living has soared 35% or more, and during which time they've actually reduced benefits (decreased bonuses and continuing education fund). There is no financial incentive to work beyond the bare minimum because of the terrible pay and lackluster bonuses. I applied to a higher level position which perfectly matched my background and experience; despite working for them (without a raise) loyally with quality work for 5+ years, I didn't even get an interview. There is just no future at this company.
