Pros

Some great co-workers. Good location in mid-town Manhattan. Reasonable hours- no 12hr work days most of the time.

Cons

For technology division- compensation and performance benefits are being squeezed down. None to extremely small raise/bonus will be awarded, irrespective of performance. Bad morale overall with threat of lay-offs always looming, causing extra stress.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
