Pros

I learned a lot after college, not too cut throat

Cons

- Horrible culture - Below par pay - Leadership has no idea whats going on and tries to micromanage everything so its impossible to get anything done. - Asinine obsession with meaningless metrics. - Unfair performance management process, terrible engineers are promoted because they play the political game while talented engineers focused on actually making an impact instead of wasting time in meetings stagnate and eventually leave

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.
