Pros
Depending on position, salary can be ok, but it is definitely “hazard pay.” What you have to deal with for the money is nowhere near worth it. Plus, they nickel and dime you (they seriously charge you for cups, even if the cup is all you need - there’s an additional charge if you get a beverage to go in it - and no that is not a joke) to get as much of it back as possible. Incredibly smart colleagues but no efforts at team building. We all just bonded over how horrible the place is.
Cons
Pretty much everything. The other reviews (except for a couple of glowing ones that read like they were written by Recruiting, not the positions listed on the reviews) have covered most of the basics. Extremely poorly run. Incredibly toxic environment. Very, very high turnover which means that, until you join the others that have already figured out it’s best to run for the exit, you’ll likely be doing the job of several people with little to no training or support. Hostility might as well be the official firm culture. Very few perks and no available time to enjoy the few that exist. There’s 0 ability to work from home for staff. The few that have access can only utilize it outside of normal business hours (basically to do additional work for no extra pay, but from the comfort of your home!), Management is awful. They encourage fear over actual respect and treat the staff much worse than trash (being treated like trash would have been a nice upgrade). There is 0 privacy. There is an open floor plan for most and the offices and conference rooms are all glass. Unfortunately, they’re too cheap to spring for soundproofing which means that, whether you need to discuss something sensitive with your supervisor, report an issue to hr in person, make a private phone call urgently, or you’re being reprimanded, you can expect everyone outside of those doors (and everyone they tell because gossip seems to be the only way info is communicated, confidential or otherwise) to know all of your business as well. Plus, there are literally cameras everywhere, even in conference rooms, which is majorly concerning, especially since the screens showing all of the firm’s monitoring in real time is in an open area for anyone to see. Finally (for this review anyway; sadly there are still many more cons to choose from), there’s no official snow policy so you’re forced to burn your vacation days (don’t worry you won’t have time to use them for actual vacations anyway) if you’re not willing to risk your life to go into the office in extremely dangerous weather.
