Pros

+ NY office redesign was needed and is very nice + Global organization means you get to meet some nice folks along the way

Cons

- Grossly underpaid for the work I do - Chaotic teams, lots of swirl - Family run business - Loyalty means nothing, folks who have been around for ages have been laid off in the past - Long hours and lots of team swirl

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
