Pros

Bagels are provided on Wednesday. The new vending machine on the first floor has great hummus & microwavable white castle cheeseburgers. Coffee is free.

Cons

All of the client services jobs were outsourced to Costa Rica. Dozens (or maybe even hundreds) of people were laid off. The company has a lot of top clients because it's been around for so long that it's well known and well respected, but the reputation is no longer deserved, and is just a holdover from the early years. The quality developers have been recruited away by Google and the like, which has left them with a lack of historical knowledge of the app. The jury is still out on the new CCMP platform, but it's been rumored to not yet be functional as anything other than an ESP. With everyone getting laid off, there will be a massive gap in account knowledge. The clients are in for a nasty surprise in the next few months.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
