Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working here. Not a single one.

Cons

Greedy company with greedy managers. People in management who have no business being in management. Awful team members. They hire to fire. Churn and burn culture. They have cut benefits over the years. Their compensation plans are awful. They use scare tactics and fear to force production. This place will drain you mentally. Their entire business model is aggressive sales and using both employees and candidates to their advantage. This company does not care about human beings. You are just a number to them. You will need therapy during and after employment. Recruiters are leaving in droves. It's so toxic. So very toxic. They preach about creating a beautiful working world, meanwhile, they do not provide that environment to their employees or their contractors.

Pros

None to speak of except no longer working here. I was at the top of my game until this place destroyed my future.

Cons

Exploitative WFH culture that weaponizes visibility. 1.5+ hour nonsense “meetings” of managers belittling you while fanning their own superiority and focusing on short sighted optics. Recruiting, many sales areas and pricing are clown cars of bad management. Don’t ever expect to be fairly compensated or invested in any capacity regardless of how well you perform or what they promise to manipulate you. These issues are entrenched due to moral hazard. Another reviewer rightfully said, “You will need therapy during and after employment” but they will not pay you enough to afford it. “Even if you do a great job if you are not a favorite you will have a difficult time here. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing your job if you are not accepted, however I think that’s their strategy,” said another reviewer and to add to that, credit for your work if arduous or brilliant will go to someone else, and they will leave you with crumbs of recognition for work that required no business school degree to double down on hiding what you had to offer. A brilliant senior lead that brought in millions and recently departed described being treated in meetings as “little girl go sit in the corner.” It’s spot on.
