Pros

The company is pretty diverse, you get a chance to work with the top tier talents with the best academic background. The culture is inclusive, the colleagues are very friendly and nice. The branding is pretty showy on your resume.

Cons

The job itself is extremely simple and tedious, it only takes like two weeks to get used to and you just repeat everyday without the need to think deeply. The talent people are overqualified for this kind of work. You don't really learn much after a while.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
