Pros

The people are wonderful, but get less wonderful as you go up the promotional hierarchy, and you make some good friends bonding over the unpleasantries of the job.

Cons

There is so much that is not good about this company, and much of it I didn’t fully internalize until being fully employed somewhere else. The most fundamental issue, though, is that the leadership is set in its absurd method and despite constantly boasting a feedback culture, has never once taken on feedback from its employees. The turnover rate is wild, the recruiting proposition is false, and the lack of training of the managers, which has been brought up on this chain 81738492 times, is perpetuated despite the repeated feedback that it is a problem. I was lucky(ish) in my segment and in my team, but I saw colleagues being treated horribly, being belittled and stretched thin and then thrown out without a second thought. Most managers and up are on some kind of Zimbardo prison experiment-esque power trip. And you really just sit there and watch as bright, capable recent-grads (and sometimes experienced professionals who are pulled into the associate position by the visa sponsorship) are driven to half-insanity. I don’t know of a single person who has left and isn’t far better off now. And I know a lot of people who have left.
