Pros

If you're willing to work 100 hours a week, you'll probably get promoted, but you won't necessarily get more money

Cons

Work life balance is horrible - they are the biggest churn and burn company out there Phil hires his friends, so realize that he'll promote them before you Liz is an awkward, socially inept perfectionist - she will bite you Their game plan / MO is to keep hiring college graduates, making them work 80+ hours a week, get all they can from them, then treat them like crap and underpay them so they quit, then just hire again!

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
