Pros
- The brand is globally known and held in high regard - The New York office is cool, you can almost reach out and touch the Times Square New Years ball - The healthcare benefits are good
Cons
- They vastly underpay employees, they are fully aware of this, but they don't seem to care - Annual goals are a joke because they can just be rewritten at the end of the year to make sure that everyone gets a bonus. This is fully supported by the C-level execs because they have millions of dollars in bonuses on the line, so they only care about checking their own boxes for the bonus, not what is actually good for the company - Other benefits like 401k are below average for this industry - Diversity is just a buzz word to them - if you look at the makeup of the SVPs and above, it is a sea of white people - They do a 2x per year survey and make the employees think they will do something to improve the bad scores, but they never do - at least on things that actually matter - Because they are cheap, they are firing everyone outside of NY and ATL, and are pushing a lot of jobs overseas to other countries - They live and die by the brand, so they will attempt to suppress anything that is negative for the brand before it escapes - They make it nearly impossible to fire someone - even if they are a shocking underperformer - especially if the person is "diverse" - There is a strong pressure to hire "diverse" employees, however diverse only means skin color at Nasdaq, and at times I was specifically directed to only look for candidates whose skin color was non-white
