Pros

Cool Managers, Free Gym, New Office, Foot in the door

Cons

This company clearly has favorites. If you look at all the 4+ star reviews, they are all from either sales or director/executive level people. The pay scale skews heavily towards sales. They have a company-wide meeting dedicated to them every Monday. There is a huge disconnect from what the employees want and what upper management does/gives. They ran annual and quarterly bonuses in 2024. However, in 2025, they stopped running these bonuses without giving employees a reason. They went from 3 days in the office to 4 days in the office. No one wanted this new WFH policy except upper management since it promoted "productivity". My team had more than 7 people leave from my time here and they didn't bat an eye for an additional analyst for us. That led to the remaining team taking on more work with no additional pay. Hard work is not rewarded here. Very limited growth and promotions are based on tenure. The lower tier managers have better ideas but they have no authority to change anything. Leadership is completely out of touch. They say "competitive salary" but it's quite the opposite. The pay is hourly for all entry level positions and it's a non-negotiable wage which is a big red flag. Don't expect any big raises here either. The culture it fosters is to do the bare minimum since there are no incentives which hinders growth in employees. They tend to hire desperate college grads at low wages, burn them out, and then replace them—leading to extremely high turnover. It’s incredibly demoralizing and a slap to the face to see employees underpaid while the CEO donates millions to charity every year. His board members are just yes men because it's his way or the highway. He's wealthy enough (billions) to purchase a stake in the Boston Celtics but all employees get is a laughable $1 per hour raise—if that. Don't be fooled by all the good PR.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience at the company did not meet your expectations. We appreciate both the positive notes you shared—such as the gym access, new office space, and supportive managers—and also the areas where you feel we fell short. We recognize that transparency, compensation, and career growth are important to all employees, and we’re actively working to improve in these areas. Decisions around bonuses, compensation structures, and hybrid work policies are made with company-wide goals in mind, but we understand the importance of involving employees in those conversations and providing clarity when changes occur. Turnover and workload are issues we take seriously. While some departments have experienced staffing challenges, we're continuously assessing resource needs and ways to better support our teams. We're also committed to evolving our approach to recognition, career development, and internal communication to create a more rewarding and equitable environment for all. We respect all perspectives and take this kind of feedback as an opportunity to reflect and improve. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to our mission and hope you find a role that aligns better with your expectations and goals.
