Pros

-actually surprised how much PTO I'd accrue over time. -a lot of offices around the world

Cons

-Upper management is not personable and basically speak to each other during speeches rather than to the company. It's cringe -T e r r i b l e work/life balance and compensation. absolutely terrible and I cannot emphasize this enough. As someone who enjoys working and dedicating myself, the work is administrative, thoughtless and mismanaged. -You will not be put on a team based on your interests but simply by what team is struggling the most. If you decide to work here, fight very hard to be put on a team you actually think seems cool. If they say there's no openings, they're just trying to fill bodies on the burnout teams with major turnover. -Turnover is insanely high, even for NYC standards. -You only will earn a company award if you work 55-60+ hours per week. You will not even want an award because everyone you know that has one works hours like 7:30am-8pm, and on weekends. -They pretend like they give you accounts/responsibilities because you've earned them but it's because there's major issues and you're a scapegoat. -No sense of cohesion, the people really do not inspire me at all. everyone is sort of a worker bee.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
