Pros

It's a job and money if you are in need.... not a dependable one since they continuously lay off and hire from the Randstad offshore teams in India. Main perk used to be flexibility and remote work, but they laid off the entire American marketing team last week and half of Data Engineering and other IT teams over the last month, now they are "embracing a hybrid environment". So idk maybe in the offices they have cool snacks or something.

Cons

- your bonus will never be close to what they tell you, if you get one at all. - no meaningful pay raises in 3 years, including after their most successful year in company history. - when people quit they do not backfill the position, they all the responsibilities onto you and your team. - they continuously change internal structures to "specialize" in areas and it causes lots of confusion - managers have little management training and will not support you in growth - they've laid off large groups in the US multiple times over the last 2 years in the field but also in IT, marketing, and elsewhere causing breaks in systems, and a thoroughly frustrated and angry environment - managers multiple times chastise women in the marketing department on their tone and their qualifications, going so far as to rewatch meeting recordings at leadership team's weekly to discuss certain women's tones in which they share their expertise.

Beware! Human Forward talk doesn’t match their actions.

Pros

Autonomy Pleasant, productive colleagues Salary

Cons

Horrible leadership No job security Cannot maintain a direction long enough to see/judge decisions Frivolous spending at the top on their own travels/fancy dining/etc. while cutting back on employee bonus potential. Give you the feeling they invest in you but will cut your role regardless of performance (100% budgetary).
