Pros

-Agree that the company's talent at the mid and entry level is a huge asset. -You will gain a lot of experience here as they throw many projects and assignments at their staff. You will also develop tough skin. -Close numerous happy hours that help you forget the Mickey Mouse operation that is Passenger (If they even let you out on time...remember, you're being WATCHED)

Cons

Working here is like riding a bicycle. Except the bicycle is on fire, and you're on fire, and you're in hell. If you should be so fortunate to prove your worth on the job, prepare for the higher ups to serve you a buffet of inefficiency, incompetence, and ineffective management skills. If you can handle that, management may further ask you to unhinge your jaw and swallow a heaping plateful of responsibilities that you will get 0 credit for (but 100% of the blame if failed) and an all day special of empty promises. If I knew what I was getting myself into, I would've just thrown my body into traffic knowing that NYPD and the DoT would be able to take care of my corpse better than Passenger with my career.

Pros

Relentless optimism despite dismal business results

Cons

I can only speak from personal experience, but there were substantial and significant differences between the job I accepted and the responsibilities assigned to me immediately upon joining. Instead of leading one team, it became two teams. In top of that, I was assigned primary and immediate responsibility for another initiative that was not disclosed within the job description and only briefly mentioned as an area in which I could have “some involvement” during one of the three job interviews.
