Pros

I learned how to multi-task extremely well, I could handle any kind of crisis, I greatly admired my managers who were incredibly intelligent problem solvers, the company has fun opportunities and parties

Cons

I felt left out on my team, the people that were in my office often left my out. My role was extremely stressful to the point that it was not worth it for me, I was always under a lot of pressure to find freelancers for jobs with very limited budgets and short time-lines. The hours were long and inflexible. Ultimately I quit because a policy was put in place that changed the structure of my role from salaried to hourly with a calculation that essentially added up to half the pay you get per hour for each out of over time worked. Everyone works over time as a PM and I found this policy completely against my values. You can make much more working at another company in NYC.

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.
