Pros

Ok place. Very average. Below par talent. Great place if you want to coast.

Cons

My team was awful. Not all teams are bad. Lots of politics in NYC office. Most good people generally leave. Keep your head down. Ideas are not welcome. Management has old fashioned hierarchical mentality.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
