Pros

Brand recognition on your resume

Cons

Stack ranking culture: Performance reviews are driven by a ranking system that encouraged unhealthy internal competition rather than collaboration, often sidelining real contributions in favor of politics. Management appears more focused on image, visibility, and participation in high-profile initiatives than on genuinely supporting their teams or addressing operational issues. Processes place too much trust in manager inputs without adequate verification, leaving employees vulnerable to errors that can take weeks to months to address.

Pros

Well-run company that knows its values and lives them out. They hire well, and trust people to do their jobs, and people almost always do. Very tech-forward, and adopts the current tech meta quite well.

Cons

Performance management is a double edged sword. It feels intense, but I get why they do it. And helps me reflect on where Im at. Small price to pay

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.
