Pros
Forget the ozempic, you will be so stressed out hitting their insane metrics that you’ll probably drop a few pounds from sheer panic! Since I can’t help but see this place constantly circle-jerking on LinkedIn about hiring every hour of every day, I felt a civic duty to take time out of my day and even write this, before the next naive new grad or laid-off professional entertains the idea of rushing this place (since its practically a sorority) do yourself a favor and Google the horror stories. They act like they’re the hottest thing on the market, but the reality is a toxic, dystopian sweatshop wearing a blazer.
Cons
Whether you are a top performer or middle-of-the-road, you are embedded in a permanent state of high-cortisol torture. They will ride you harder than a mechanical bull without offering so much as a safe word. The senior staff who survived the 2021 Covid staffing boom sit around bragging about the success and money you can achieve, while new hires are getting absolutely derailed by today’s market. You are sold a complete fantasy. There is zero work-life balance for the first 1-3 years. You are expected to bend over backwards and work to the bone just to earn the right to breathe. There is a reason their turnover is an absolute joke. You either get incredibly lucky, or you literally become mentally unwell trying to keep up. Working here is a borderline one-way ticket to a grippy-sock vacation.
