Pros

Great people, nice office, good pay especially in Austin. If you are interested in a career in sales, business development or account management, the Associate position can be a decent starting place, otherwise look for something else that might offer more transferable skills when you leave.

Cons

The comments on culture in other reviews are pretty accurate. Intense metric-based micromanagement (how many phone calls did you make, how many emails did you send, etc) makes that even worse. The challenge of this job comes from the stress and pace, not intellectual challenge.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
