Pros

Great salary, and cool product. What they're doing as a business is really awesom.

Cons

Nothing really to say that is terrible, recruiters here are basically agency recruiters that work internally. Your job is to take orders and if you get stuck on a bummer team to support it's hard to look good to leadership. Some recruiters get good hiring managers and good teams and therefore look much more successful than their peers. They inflate the winners and don't switch things up to offer an equally playing field. It's either you get put on a team that is set up for success or your get on a team that has little to no hiring and you turn out a million candidates to find one. I'm a bit bias as I was laid off, but there were a lot of promises for growth when I joined but I worked on the same roles for 11 months and constantly hit roadblocks bc of poor headcount planning and roles on my team getting cut constantly, which was a big hindrance on my ability to succeed.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
