Pros

- Competitive salary and overall compensation/benefits package. - Opportunity to work with smart, capable colleagues and learn a great deal from them. - Convenient cafeteria and discounted amenities. - Strong exposure to business operations and opportunities to learn how the business functions.

Cons

- Lack of structure, organization, and standardized processes, leading to inefficient workflows and excessive time spent figuring out tasks rather than executing them. - Frequent fire drills, reactive work, and constant pivoting due to unclear direction from leadership. - Limited flexibility, with strict return-to-office expectations and working from home generally discouraged. - Outdated and inefficient internal tools, which is concerning for a company focused on innovation. - Decisions are heavily dictated by HQ, with limited communication and little room for local input, making it difficult to move initiatives forward. - A highly hierarchical culture, where strict adherence to chain of command expectations can limit collaboration and open dialogue. - Workplace culture can feel challenging at times, with reports of bullying behaviors and limited psychological safety. - Company morale appears low, particularly following layoffs and RTO mandates. - Poor work-life balance, as long workdays are often required due to operational inefficiencies, with significant time spent monitoring rather than proactively driving meaningful work.

Pros

- Decent pay - Many "email job" positions still exist. Kind of feels like a video game working there. Because the company is so slow to adopt technology internally and so bureaucratic, you might end up with the old fashioned "email job" position where you just basically edit powerpoints, spreadsheets, and email people for a living. If you emotionally detach it's actually kind of funny / fun. Given how poorly the economy is, it's a gift to get paid to pretend to do "work" all day.

Cons

- Was often high stress for no reason. You're going to get people on your case about doing work that is essentially meaningless but "has to be done" because AI workflows have yet to be adopted. The people I know still working there complain that it has gotten worse (I'm assuming this is driven by growing economic concerns in the US.) It's important to pretend to be a "business person" when you are working there to avoid this. If you pretend to be a mover and a shaker you likely won't received the same praise as the person who argues for no reason in meetings just to hear their voice louder. Pretend to be the stereotypical "business guy" and you've got a track to at least some type of career growth. - Like everyone mentions, it's super bureaucratic.
