Smart people crushed by ugly corporate politics
Pros
Great discounts on food, incredibly smart people to work with and learn from.
Cons
Where to begin...at first you think it's a really supportive, exciting place to work. But it quickly becomes clear that the only people producing real work are at manager level and below. Associate Director on up are there only to jockey for position and promotions. There is constant change in a way that leads to confusion and frustration, those at higher levels want to 'make their mark' on the organization but just induce stress and chaos with unnecessary changes. If you are not hired as 'Special Ops' you will not get a promotion, that is made painfully clear. Special Ops employees raise each other up while squashing anyone not within their ranks. However, most have no real world experience and were hired only because they went to fancy business schools. It's a recipe for the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced. I would stay away.
