Pros

Offices are well connected. There are some good people working there.

Cons

For a company that promotes themselves as "data driven" there is not one decision made based on any real data. During my time in the company every new product worked on or in the company's roadmap was based on one individual's intuition of what a client would want. There was no space for professional back and forth on what the product should be or how it should work. If at any point there was intention on my side for a discussion on these things, I was deemed unprofessional. There is no flexibility whatsoever for personal issues, either from management or from the HR department. HR department seemed more interested on how to position themselves better in the company rather than any "human" aspect of the job.

Pros

Everyone is very friendly and laid-back. There is a good camaraderie among the employees. The company takes care to ensure that employees are happy and have a good work environment. Fresh bagels every morning. They provide everyone with a MacBook Pro and a secondary monitor, which increases efficiency. The benefits package offered is very comprehensive and average salaries are very competitive. Management is very flexible and allows employees to work however best suits them.

Cons

There is not always good communication concerning the goals of the company or the goals of an individual project. Although management doesn't breathe down employees' necks, there is sometimes a lack of clarity in job descriptions.
