Pros
Lots of free food, free bagels, free swag. The product exists for a good purpose: to make the recruiting and onboarding experience better. At least it used to... Great building, location. Some great people....if they're still around
Cons
The company is all about the core competencies. "Drink your own champagne." Except that the leadership is not transparent, shows no empathy, etc etc. New hires are sold on the idea of what the company once was, in reality it is a cult-like atmosphere of those that are "in", and those that aren't are shown the door quickly. Morale is horrible, and that was before the company gave employees about 100 more reasons to be uneasy. Success was never celebrated, but manager focus was on every misstep or mistake in order to document a case for a swift exit should the need arise. Hard to succeed with NO training, NO coaching, No direction, and then given unattainable goals. Company pay scale is below market average, making it challenging to attract top talent. Many managers are in role simply due to tenure, and struggle to be effective leaders.
