Pros

The health insurance benefits are outstanding and the paid parental leave is generous.

Cons

- the company does not care about you if you are in a non-revenue generating role. - the people team is paid way below market value but force us to price out roles for other teams to be paid at the 50th percentile. My role was $30k below the 50th percentile in the Bay Area to give an example. - Leadership cares more about appeasing their business partners and making themselves look good than actually caring for their own team. - the company states it’s been integrated together as this amazing brand but everyone is still operating under separate P&L’s and no one has a clue how to actually create a unified company. - the core people team is extremely understaffed and asked all the time to take on work of teams who are paid way higher because those teams are at “capacity”. Why is our own Senior Director of People not advocating for us when we push back and say we are at capacity? Instead we must pile on other peoples work and get paid the bare minimum because our mental health and work/life balance is not as important as other teams? Absolutely insane. -little to no learning and development opportunities

Pros

Very smart coworkers and teams set up for success

Cons

It's an agency, at times it'll be stressful and you'll have long hours (no surprise there though)
