Pros

Great connections and relationships with leading companies in their fields, with access to CEOs and upper management There are some amazing people, very talented, creative, hard working and humble Most of the work is challenging and interesting, with the SYP trying to bring a different perspective or angle to common organizational issues

Cons

Reinventing the wheel every time, no clear approach to institutional learning More attention and focus on form rather than on content. Don't feel we were trying to help clients as much as dazzle them If you don't quickly find yourself a good team to be part of, you are in trouble. Organizational narcissism. The organization is in love with itself and tend to oversell the impact and relevance of our work Is an organization more suitable for young people that are just starting that for experienced people

toxic culture, lead with fear

Pros

Incredible, caring, wonderful people who love each other more than you can possibly imagine.

Cons

No bad actors, but plenty of bad behaviors. Gossiping and favoritism are quite common. Principals playing politics and the blame game. People working awful hours, making incredible sacrifices, are grossly underpaid, and have very little opportunity for advancement. Office has a culture of peer-pressured, forced positivity. Dissent and criticism are not welcome. There's no safe space for sharing concerns without fear of leadership repercussions. The vibe feels fake, manufactured, forced. Putting on a front for NY. Very little attention or listening coming from office or SYP leadership.

Pros

attempts to create positive values, open about company profits, extremely generous in many regards, interesting & brilliant staff, terrific kitchen & food supply, fun events thrown for staff, very easy to broach conversations with almost anyone in the company, a great place to learn more about a vast many topics, encouragement for people to share who they are and be creative, open communication of problematic issues highly encouraged

Cons

staff tends to be judgmental beyond necessity, people therefore feel insecure and unsafe on the whole, toleration of destructive behaviors that do not follow the company's espoused culture & values from those who show deference and profitable benefit of keeping, cliques form and become exclusive depending on the track of work people are on, condescension and bad social behaviors trickle down from certain parts of management and sadly validate those actions in other roles beneath them
