Pros

Lunch and snacks provided for employees.

Cons

Managers lacked sufficient technical expertise in frontend development, making it difficult to provide proper guidance, architecture direction, or code review support. Leadership often struggled to understand frontend-specific challenges, timelines, and technical constraints. Feedback and communication from managers were inconsistent and sometimes unclear. Insufficient mentorship and career development support for engineers. Heavy reliance on outdated technology stacks reduced development efficiency and slowed modernization efforts. Modules and responsibilities were not distributed properly across teams, leading to imbalance in workload ownership and coordination challenges.

Pros

Free lunch and great location near Bryant Park

Cons

You can’t make a deal with a bad person, the CEO is not a decent person. Very poor leadership and unhappy clients under house arrest b/c of the data. It’s tough to leave GR. Oh, forgot, zero equity.
