Pros

Well-educated, well-heeled people An opportunity to become highly business conversant in a range of industries

Cons

No growth strategy--the cash cow is pretty flat at about 3% growth and people are getting desperate From the top down, a sink or swim culture that doesn't understand how to train, motivate, or reward its people. No career path A senior management team that keeps asking "What is Marketing, anyway?"

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
