Pros

Good work life balance Good cafeteria ( when it was open) Free parking (when the office reopens)

Cons

Archaic and worst performance management system. They won't tell you at the time of hiring, but even with great performance you can be at the bottom. Delivery leads micromanage and try to squeeze every second of engineers time with no autonomy for engineers. Senior leaders are laid back, out of touch with tech and won't listen. Product org treats engineering organization like a slave.

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.
