Pros

Great health and vacation benefits. Great general manager. Friendly coworkers on the "frontline and trenches" level, as described by a lead who prefers to "relax and observe from afar".

Cons

Manipulative mid tier management and questionable HR lead who uses scare tactics and twists peoples words, which is very unethical. Vague statements given as answers when people ask honest questions on the direction of projects or the company as a whole. Lots of people given titles and promotions without merit or quality work to back it up. Those same people take the credit from the ones who actually put in effort and do passionate work, most noticeable from the creative and strategy departments. Heavy use of buzzwords thrown around and attempts to ride trends rather than actually innovate on ideas. Claims to be about diversity, but actually canceled projects that promoted diversity in exchange for a book club. Staff is not diverse as well, which makes it difficult to feel valued or appreciated in the long run unless you are a white male.

Pros

The location is rather accessible. Walk, bike, taxi, or public transportation it'll take you here. Great coffee and plenty of beer nearby to drown away the problems of working here.

Cons

Oh man were to start. If you've read any of the other reviews for this place you'll see how dreadfully awful it is to work here and the type of day in and day out nonsense you'll have to deal with. Huge egos that get in the way of progress and good products run rampant amongst leadership globally. There's a clear delineation between who's the workers and who the ones are that are taking credit for the work. Lot's of people in power here who have no respect for their team members, will lie to them and try to manipulate them behind their backs. If you're anything but a white male you'll be talked down to and belittled on the daily here. A lot of these issues are allowed to keep going on because you have an HR department that only perpetuates these issues and blocks anything from being done about these issues. It's a real shame because I've seen this company go from group of people that loved doing great work together into something entirely different. Please save yourself the stress and just don't work here.
