If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Pros
Good starting pay, nice office space, subsidized lunches and coffee bar, great place to learn, fast-paced, you’re held accountable and pushed hard.
Cons
Each mid-year and annual review I had (4 total) there were excuses (unrelated to my own performance) as to why I wasn’t eligible for a raise (examples: There was a company-wide agreement no one is getting a raise this cycle, we’re only giving raises to those who are getting a promotion, etc.) despite being told everyone was eligible for compensation increases each review cycle upon receiving my initial offer. My performance was always lauded as above expectations, yet compensation never reflected this. I was also moved into a completely unrelated role to my hiring role without any warning a year into my tenure and I had no say in the decision (something I’ve since heard is quite common with the company). Work life balance was minimal to none - my team was expected to be in office 8-6 despite being told 9-5 during my interview process. The office is also extremely far away from Charlotte (where they claim to be located during your interview process) so expect to spend 1.5-2 hours a day commuting if you live in the Uptown, Elizabeth, South End, NoDa areas.
