Pros

Great benefits great contributions to 401(k) working from home worklife balance is that you can buy an extra week of vacation and their PTO package is very generous

Cons

They say transparency a lot but they're not honest very political. They really do give the impression they're trying to get rid of older workers keep saying they can hire cheaper kids right out of college

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
