Pros

-Amazing benefits- you will not see a better benefits package elsewhere -Modernized office, new equipment, updated kitchen amenities (Chicago) -Global company- opportunities to liaise with international teams, offices -Casual work environment (Could be a con for some used to opposite environment)

Cons

-Hiring process is one of the most prolonged I've been through; unprofessional HR process -Many cliques within the office; if you do not associate with one or more commonly are not a proper quirky fit to associate with one, you will find it hard to work around constant chatter circles and will feel the impact wholly. -Opportunities for advancement are rare -Salary is weak compared to other companies -Awful communication from upper-management level to associated employees. Often times information is kept between upper-management until a situation becomes critical, then small parts are shared with remainder of team in hopes of quick "get it done yesterday" fixes. -Awful communication between teams working on common projects. Technical-based teams and project management/upper-management often have a very hard time coordinating and meeting needs-- Repetitive, backtracking update meetings as a result.

Pros

Leadership is very understanding and are clear SME’s that know what their doing. There’s a learning curve that’s complex, but compensation and experience is worth the training.

Cons

Internal operations could be better, but that’s expected with any growing company.
