Pros

- Meritocratic – performance is recognized and there is opportunity to progress quickly - Lots of opportunity for anyone that is interested in becoming a first-time manager - Clear career path - Fun atmosphere in the CS function - Ideas are being acted on much quicker than before – company is speeding up - COVID response has been reassuring and transparent, built on expert-input

Cons

- Change comes quickly and often, a high level of personal agility is a must - Client facing roles are deceptively complex and the transition from being average to being great is not easy, which can lead to plateaus

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.
