Pros

Junior team is smart and tightknit. Promotions can be much faster here than at other companies if you play the game right.

Cons

"Casual" culture goes way too far - making fun of clients and employees, openly judging employees' appearances, promotions based around kissing exec team's butts, emotional bullying from senior team. Long hours filled with mundane, meaningless work. No real, transferrable skills learned here. Most of the time people goof off and end up staying late just to show their face. Pay is embarrassingly low. For a culture that prides itself on being upscale, the salaries are 20K less than other companies.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
