Pros

Work life balance is probably the only positive

Cons

Handful of employees have been working there a long time. For other new ones, it is almost impossible to make an impact. Favoritism is rampant.

Company Culture not Company Wide

Pros

- Intelligent individuals who are passionate about their work (until they get worn down) - Free snacks/lunches - Free parking (in a company garage) - Flexible working hours (work from home, etc.) - Cool company party at the end of the year

Cons

** The cool company culture that resides in specific verticals/departments do not extend throughout the whole company. Hence, the reviews here can be very well all over the board.** - Interns and associates don't get compensated very well. Interns with a bachelors degree come on-board for $10-$12/hr for the first 3 months before being considered for a salaried position as an associate - Been through 3 rounds of layoffs in my 2 year tenure. Company not doing great despite all the optimism upper management tries to spoon feed you - very little transparency - No career growth. Layoffs mean less people to do more work. Additionally, the focus is now on maintaining business operations not on your career/interests - If you don't suck up, you don't belong here. If you don't agree with all the decisions upper management makes, you will get an immense amount of push back with your work - Upper management do not participate in the daily grind of operations yet they make all the high level decisions that impact operations in ways they do not understand - Upper management is reactive NOT proactive about technological support/updates - if you want to work with a system that is constantly broken, try Quinstreet - Upper management does not see the employee retention problem - when individuals leave, management tends not to listen or absorb the reasons people are leaving. The mentality is that individuals who leave just don't have it in them to continue; that, is the wrong mentality to have
