Pros

Free lunch on Thursdays. Decent Pay. Apple products used. Interesting office design. Public walking desks. CTA Tax-free Program. Work from home (1 day per month).

Cons

Lacking diversity. Far too many catty women in leadership positions. Disrespectful management, especially if you're a minority. Very informal, lax culture. HR does not seem too concerned with improving the office culture, to ensure equitable relationships and effective management ratings. You may be asked to train a brand new employee while you're still a brand new one, only 3 months in. You also may be asked to work outside of your department because they're not willing to hire someone to fill any language-specific roles in that department. Worst yet, they may promote minimally-experienced colleagues to perform in leadership roles, and thus, inherently select someone who micromanages or enjoys playing politics/favorites due to personal/professional inadequacies and insecurities. Furthermore, technology is treated as business and given more priority than the flow and structure of departments themselves in terms of how people interact, organize, and execute tasks. Therefore, be prepared to find that others may pick up more of the slack when it comes to completing specific job duties and functions. This coupled with technology issues, such as the user being logged out after only five short minutes of intense data analysis via a spreadsheet or specific server, made for an unpleasant environment.

Pros

A lot of opportunity to work on many projects. Could be a good move for early stage professionals to work across domains, but not great for senior and above unless you're very adept at managing up.

Cons

High stress, very political and could be chaotic with leadership prioritizing the newest trend
