Pros

Good benefits, forward leaning technology-wise, intelligent and rational decision making on a larger scale

Cons

Stack rankings means that your #1 priority at all times is to NOT be in the bottom 15% of your cohort. This has little to do with your talent, it has (in order of importance) to do with 1) Your manager's political power 2) Your visibility to your manger's peers and skips 3) Your job performance. Beware! At review time, the knives come out, and if you haven't positioned yourself properly, you will NOT get the bonus the recruiter promised you, and you'll have a black mark next to your name.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
