Business Outlook

Pros

401k contribution and match is among highest in the business. Initial PTO is very generous. Despite an unpopular RTO policy in 2025, the work style remains fairly flexible.

Cons

If you are a minority in any way, especially one of thought, you will quickly be ostracized. Always express gratitude, never tell the emperor they have no clothes on, and never think you are irreplaceable. This company has a modern and lofty exterior, but is truly homogeneous inside. You can be POC, but only if you behave white. You can be queer, but only if you are traditional about it. The US is run by Europeans thousands of miles away who know nothing about our economy, society, or business world.
