Pros

Transparent culture and decision making Strong moral compass from Fisk on down Support and encourage cross career functional development

Cons

Antiquated work from home policy - only allowed if you work 25 miles or more from the office! You could live 30 miles away and it only takes 20 min on the train but you could live 5 miles away and it takes 45 min on the bus or el but apparently that doesn’t matter. Outdated vacation policy starts at 2 weeks ; takes 5 years before you get 3 weeks. Profit sharing (no bonus) rewards length of employment rather than performance. You could have outstanding performance in your first year but you only get $1,000 in profit sharing (no bonus) or be mediocre and work there for 12 years and make $15,000.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
