Pros

If you can't afford to buy your own food, or somehow a nice office view makes you feel like you've made it in life, then this might be the company for you. But if you want to work for a company you believe in, or if you've got any kind of self-worth, stay away from this place!

Cons

The company culture is horrible and it definitely trickles down from the very top. I could honestly go on-and-on about how much everyone complained about Marc, the CEO, and how much everyone hated working there, but a lot of it has been well-documented in other reviews here (other reviews that have 'mysteriously' been pushed out of view from the first page). But seriously though, isn't it suspicious that all of these generic 4-5 star reviews were posted in a relatively short period of time? And it always seems to happen after a series of poor reviews of the company. Trust me, do yourself a favor and do you due diligence. Read the other 1 star reviews - especially the ones with the most 'Helpful' votes.

Pros

This review is from 2011. Opportunity cost, you work in New York. Anything can happen there at any time. Well stocked and good variety of snacks. Oatmeal provided for breakfast. The company gave things sometimes like blankets and T-shirts.

Cons

Company culture is unconventional. The end of the workweek is Thursday, because the jobs posted that day go live Friday. So everyone celebrates the end of the week on Thursday instead. If you have a long commute you will be forced to make a choice between sleep and connecting with coworkers and colleagues after the day. Permatemps are also treated as second-class citizens, due to a Supreme Court decision. They don't get to participate in company morale events, such as barbecues, picnics,. One time the company hired masseuses to give employees massages. Permatemps did not get to receive a massage. Management will take credit for your work, so document every exchange. Management would rather terminate employees in the case of an HR incident rather than address the problem.
