Pros

Compensation good at a profitable commerce retailer

Cons

Incredibly lame dry corporate culture. Design management lacks leadership, authenticity, and presence. Design is green/immature and plagued with unnecessary bureaucracy and systems administration. The design team structure is complex and inefficient, difficult to communicate UX dependencies. The design team is disinterested, gives excessive lip service and is bloated with mediocre talent. Incompetent and uninspired middle management.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
