Each Team has a Unique Life Style

Pros

For some departments/teams, you get out of works around 5. And for 2 days out of 5 every week you can work from home. For my previous team, we barely have any free time. We are paid slightly higher, but it is definitely not worth how much more effort we have to put into the job. Make sure you ask about the work schedule in your interview.

Cons

Just like any other big companies, it's almost impossible to move up unless you stay there for years. Salary is not great. It's so easy to find somewhere else that pays a lot better. Boring. The job they ask you do is really repetitive and boring. Once KKR took over, the company became worse. KKR didn't change anything besides firing people and getting rid of all the snacks in the kitchen. This is their understanding of "efficiency".

Pros

Decent benefits... I met some hardworking and good people. Unfortunately most of them left. The few that are still there should leave. I made a huge mistake taking this job...

Cons

No work-life balance. You will spend hours into the night and get no support. Things constantly change every time you turn around because upper management is clueless and incompetent and never know which direction they want to go. Managers can not be trust AT ALL. They lie, backstab you and berate you in order to feel powerful and get ahead. They nitpick you for everything; you will never get any praise for all the hard work you do. Don’t bother complaining to HR either. They will ALWAYS take the managers side no matter what, even if they say they’re “neutral” It’s an extremely toxic environment that’s gossipy and childish. They will review you based on gossip, not performance. Your health will suffer here, physically and mentally. I had to start therapy because of this place. BEWARE!!!!

Pros

- Great work life balance but that isn't universal. It varies by dept. - Great name to have on your resume as it is highly recognizable. - People are great and willing to help you out. - Nice perks prior to the interbrands/KKR buyout. All those are gone now. - Ability to learn different aspects of the business - Bonuses, health plan and 401K

Cons

- Several people are comfortable hence they don't really put in 100% - Lagging behind on innovation. They analyze the competition and adapt for internal use. - In all my time there I only received actionable feedback once the rest of the time management didn't bother to fill out their portion of the performance eval and feedback was "keep doing what you're doing" - Product development is based on what they want to sell versus based on client unmet needs - Lack of vision on the senior leadership side. They love to hear themselves speak but don't leverage insights that mid-level staff can provide in terms of trends, unmet client needs, etc. - Noncompetitive salaries and pitiful yearly raises. - Zero to little commitment to career growth. They don't strive to develop or nuture their mid-level staff.
