Pros

• great office space • good people at the company

Cons

• micromanagement- filling up excel sheets of all the daily tasks and how many hours they take you, in addition to timesheets, which management doesn’t use to improve bandwidth either • toxic work culture is promoted, limited work recognition - hard work goes unrecognized and the incompetent people who “stay late” are often rewarded over people who actually put in the work •no guidance from seniors - seniors were often unsupportive and lacked the time or knowledge to guide juniors • short-staffed teams and excessive workloads that were flagged and ignored by managers • late night calls with global teams that are too frequent but wasn’t communicated at the time of hiring • issues with leaves, and managers not approving leaves and the expectation to be “available for calls” for basic queries which could have waited a day • “GREAT PLACE TO WORK AT “ survey was not provided to all employees

Amazing & talented people, unlimited PTO, relaxed hybrid office policy, and competitive pay. I've been here over 5 years now and am not going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Limited in where they can hire by office locations

Pros

Organized environment with processes in place for the most part. Good office benefits.

Cons

Really depends on your team and the accounts you're on. Low pay and little room for promotions. You basically have to be comfortable with the salary you start out with. The New York office isn't that social, even though there are events. Most people just keep to themselves. Just an average corporate environment. In the last few years, I've seen a lot of change after the most recent CEO was hired. They're regressing their benefits (less time for parental leave, no summer fridays, hammering down on timesheets and time off). Not really coming off as "people first" imo. As a PM, there aren't many opportunities for promotions. They openly say to all jobs that you only get promotions if there's an opening, NOT if you've worked for it. They're also increasing the number of jobs that are outsourced in Bangalore, clearly trying to save a buck.
