Pros

Great people, wonderful work life balance and flexibility. Benefits are really good. It is easy to rotate around and try new things at the beginning of your career.

Cons

Infrastructure and technology are behind the times. No room for advancement or recourse if you have a poor manager. Secretive and untrustworthy management practices especially when it comes to forcing out tenured employees.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
