Pros

They bring in food at the end of the quarter.

Cons

If you want your commissions to be paid in food this is the place for you. Instead of paying the employees they look for reasons not to.

Pros

Pay is fair and you can go home at 5. It's rare to get an email after 6, and most of the lower ranks are pleasant to work with and trade ideas frequently

Cons

If you're not part of the club that was founded 15 years ago you're never moving up. Poor PMs have kept their jobs pulling rank and misleading management, people that were laid-off were randomly un-laid-off when they called the right manager, and principal engineers are a technology retirement community slamming out their last 10 years.

Pros

Most people were friendly, the brand name affords the chance to work on excellent partnerships, access to New York Fashion Week, working with world-class photographers

Cons

As a 20 year old company, the company is showing its age. While the company would have outsiders believe that they are a "tech company" they are far from it. The company is filled with legacy hires. An archaic territorialism exists in literally every facet of the business. If you're used to being in a truly innovative, fast-paced environment where new ideas and approaches are encouraged, this is not the company for you.
