Pros

Individual contributors are smart, hard working, kind, and generous. Lots of really good people trying to do good work. Benefits are good. Salary is competitive.

Cons

Too big for its britches. Impossible to enact change. No respect for employees. Only for shareholders. Employees to not get to options or bonuses so do not have an ownership stake. Lots of promises given. Very few enacted. We keep being told to be patient, but are not shown patience in equal measure. Utter lack of understanding about how to build an inclusive culture where people feel like part of something bigger than themselves. Classic corporate attitude of growth and revenue over people. Share holders are the only thing that matters. HR's disingenuousness is palpable. Employees are leaving in growing numbers. Long-term prospects are lots of work for selfish individual career climbers, but for people who want to build a collective sense of accomplishment this place is a lost cause.

Pros

Some truly amazing people work here. Really talented, and I've made some great friends.

Cons

Very little upward growth. It's honestly so hard to get consistent feedback. I've had 3 managers in my time here, same issue with all of them. There's no consistency in any systems, tools, programs, etc. If you are on multiple accounts at a time, it's like having to speak multiple different languages. They all work completely differently. There's little to no onboarding for new projects/accounts. Trying to talk to HR about concerns really does nothing. They'll only respond if you send multiple emails, and even if the problem isn't solved, if you stop pestering, they'll consider the matter closed.
