Pros

Decent benefits, great product and company. Colleagues are some of the brightest people to work with, and the company founding culture is an excellent one. Great locations, forward thinking.

Cons

Low salaries, poor policies on promotions, worst at communication, culture is inconsistent - in some groups it is very good, in others, it is like high school shenanigans. Unable to challenge their own thinking, high turnover in research due to horrendous work/life balance, non-existent marketing, unable to commit to what works, cheap.

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
