Pros

Benefits were ideal, as well as beautiful work space.

Cons

Offices other than Hudson, NY seemed great. Inexperienced managers, non competitive pay, and the damn place was like a cult. If you were t drunk off the koolaid or you said the emperor was naked, you were treated as a threat. You need a lobotomy to feel 100% comfortable there.

It’s disappointing to hear that you didn’t feel encouraged to provide unique feedback or criticism. We will continue to make tangible company changes directly in response to our employee engagement surveys, and we understand how essential that continued evolution is. We appreciate your honesty in feeling differently, and it’s an area we’ll invest additional effort into.
