Pros

money... but is it worth it to be working in such a toxic environment?

Cons

I had to work in the scary environment of mostly white employees. I had to listen and survive all of the microaggressions. I only survived because of a handful of people that weren't racist. Here are some direct quotes from upper management said right in front of me: Context: on a phone call from one of our sponsors based in China "If you can't pronounce their name, they're probably very smart" After call ended "I couldn't understand at all, all I heard was ching chong" As a person of color, I was disgusted. Lastly, they really get you with the "free lunches" it's just different types of salad... which were also pretty racist? Asian salad was salad with mandarin oranges...

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
