      European Values with 3rd World Compensation

      Pros

      Glitzy branding, early market entry

      Cons

      This company under compensates by 20-30k for every role. They have the lead on the tracking tech for all art auctions, so they hire people with very necessary and specific skillsets which aren't hireable most other places (aside from comps) and then dump 2-3x work on them. It's a pity they undervalue every department aside from upper management, and more a pity everyone tolerates it for the brand name. European colleagues are paid exactly the same but with health insurance and benefits that are compensated by the state, while American colleagues get the short stick (and are told to be grateful) because they are located in the US but work for a "European company with European values ". So much hot air blown up as*es without any substance. Zero room for growth, only "performance based raises" which are for goody two shoes working overtime without fair compensation. Those who get raises remain in a 4% raise now known as "salary bands" which is another name for inflation adjustment, but marketed as a productivity panic.

      Nice coworkers but low salary and high turn over

      Pros

      Nice coworkers who work hard. Beautiful offices.

      Cons

      Witnessed a high turnover of staff, with many people getting fired or laid off on very short notice, which made me feel like they treated people as disposable labour, clearly prioritizing some people while letting more loyal, hard-working employees go. The website/database is also ancient, as other reviewers have pointed out, and not only causes user problems but also slows down workflow. HR is super slow with responding to anything. Also, the salary was ridiculous for New York.
