Pros

Great people, nice office, good pay especially in Austin. If you are interested in a career in sales, business development or account management, the Associate position can be a decent starting place, otherwise look for something else that might offer more transferable skills when you leave.

Cons

The comments on culture in other reviews are pretty accurate. Intense metric-based micromanagement (how many phone calls did you make, how many emails did you send, etc) makes that even worse. The challenge of this job comes from the stress and pace, not intellectual challenge.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
