Pros

Exposure to incredibly smart individuals through expert network.

Cons

Bottom line, if you are an intelligent, self-starter who wants an autonomous role with the ability to grow and compensation to match your efforts, this place is not for you. Truly one of the most oppressive, bureaucratic cultures I’ve ever been a part of with absolutely no feedback channels or room for growth. - Micromanaged within an inch of your life - Incredibly low pay - far below market standards - Toxic “good vibes” culture of folks worked to the bone - Absolutely no room for growth other than time in seat - No feedback taken seriously by leadership - Boys club of politicking at leadership level - Not a place for anyone who critically thinks or wants to push the status quo - Several “restructurings” with little to NO severance - Inapplicable titles making next job search tough

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
