Good first job, great culture. Not many opportunities climbing up

Consultant
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Had a great ~3 years at the company. Started as an apprentice and was hired full time. This was a really good first job and learned a lot about how to build a team culture and saw the company grow from 150 - 250 people. People are easy to talk to, will listen to what you have to say, and if you will get many opportunities to get involved with the team if you're a proactive person. Will recommend as a first job but not as a mid/senior career level position.

Cons

Very cliquey. People in the 'circle' are privy to a lot of things which employees don't know about, even though transparency is one of the values. You'll realize after some time that there are not many opportunities to climb up and you'll feel stuck. The quality of the projects has decreased.

Underpaid and limited growth

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

People are kind and collaborative, work from home

Cons

Lack of exciting client work. The pay is well below market rate for software engineers and designers in NYC. More of a corporate feel and not a startup environment. Culture struggles to keep up with high attrition rate.

A good first step in your career, but further progression is limited

User experience designer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to get started and learn about user experience design. Most people are genuinely friendly. Fun company events and activities. Some clients are good portfolio pieces.

Cons

Since the acquisition, the focus has been on increasingly on financial results over meaningful output. The mission is fuzzy - a drive for scale for scale's sake. Although the company claims for transparency, important information is delivered haphazardly, causing anxiety and turmoil that could be easily avoided. Consultancy nature results in projects getting designed but never shipped and used by real people. Career progression is opaque, friends with management get better deals. Some clients are bad, and people might get "stuck" on them for several months. The company acknowledges challenges but has little leverage of pipeline negotiations since acquisition. The company doesn't have a strong stance on backing professional opinions in a consultancy setting - a lot of effort is put on making clients happy, in detriment of better output/craftsmanship.
