Pros

- Get to work on big tech brands like Google - Beautiful work, constant push for innovation - Amazing work life balance (zero weekends, minimal late nights, flexible hours to work around life events, childcare pick up, etc.) - Creative founders that clearly care about their employees - Can work remotely or from a wework - No drama or egos, it's like actual adults work here - Super buttoned up, which I appreciate at this point in my career - A lot of leeway to work where / how / when you want to work, but that comes with a strong expectation of responsibility / quality - Great holiday party 🎉

Cons

Not a great place for juniors, as it's mostly senior folks, and mentoring would be difficult with remote work. PTO and healthcare could be better.

Pros

- great clients - nice colleagues, no ego, collaborative

Cons

Low salary movement and being overworked without additional compensation. - Workload expectations on client projects were often very high and demanding - No formal compensation or time-off recognition for overtime or weekend work, even when it was driven by client demands. - Compensation progression and role growth felt less directly tied to performance - Salary increases are almost impossible and as stated by HR "there are many companies that do not do annual raises." - Managers appeared to have limited or no influence over compensation decisions so its hard to argue against any compensation - Overall, not a great experience as an employee if you are looking to grow.
