Pros

Deep pockets I can only assume? They spend a lot on recruiting only to let those same people go months later.

Cons

No raises ever. No raises planned. Ever, including no COLA. There is an ethereal bonus nobody has ever gotten to take the place of COLA. Tell us how that works? If you don't perform at the top then inflation doesn't exist? Hmm. We've had 5 department heads leave, get laid off, or get fired this in the last 12 months. There are 7 departments. There was a lengthy hiring and vetting process for most of them. So how did we not know it wasn't going to work? When asked about this, the president got defensive and gave an unempathetic town hall statement, rationalizing her strange decisions. That was bad.

Pros

The company might seem like a great opportunity, but management is feeding people lies and pulling them in with empty promises. You are just signing up to be exploited and used, and unless that sounds appealing to you, staying far away would be in your best in interest.

Cons

TalkingPoints is a miserable company to work for, especially if you are trying to grow your career. The company almost never gives raises or promotions to employee; you could waste years there, consistently perform at a high level, and still never see a single meaningful change in your salary.
