Pros

Office location is central, decent place to start after university

Cons

- Toxic work culture starting with management. If you don’t appeal to people, you will never progress in the company. - unrealistic made up targets - rigid 3 day a week hybrid structure - no clear direction of career progression and false expectations set to keep the employees going - the entire PSS team was let go, except for 4 people. first 5 people were abruptly fired who were in probation. Then, they fired all the managers without giving them any internal options to stay just severance pay. Finally, the 10 people remaining were called into a meeting 6 being told their jobs were secured whilst 4 were put at risk of redundancy, given the option to take the severance pay, fight for their job or move internally. Has been the worst experience of my life and I worked here just a short time.

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

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.
