Pros

-Good work/life balance (relative to other consulting firms...low bar) -Dynamic individuals in the company -Attempting to take steps towards improving company -Good place to cut your teeth -Transparency/can make your voice heard without being punished

Cons

-Morale is low, people are leaving the company left and right -Performance management is nonexistent and sr managers shift responsibility/blame to junior staff -Little visibility into what CEO does every day, rarely interacts with majority of employees, and poor impression for when he does interact with the enterprise (i.e. coming out with decisions out of nowhere, prioritizes company loyalty above employees' individual safety) -Several junior staff get stuck on projects >1 year

Pros

If you are interested in learning about UI/UX or being a product owner then this is the best education you could ask for. I joined as an undergrad hire and had no clue what I wanted to do. The new product director will teach you everything you need to know to get a job at a top tech company in two years. Don’t miss out on a golden opportunity to learn from the best.

Cons

There are two different cultures in the company. One is full of old EY consultants who are dinosaurs and don’t have any skills for the 21st century and refuse to learn about technology and what powers the world today. This culture rewards you for being selfish and a jerk. It also has no accountability. The other culture is more like a tech company. Everyone is really collaborative and supportive of one another while holding each other accountable. The developers, designers and business analysts are all great to work with and so supportive of one another.

Pros

If you're a Type A person, highly driven and don't like traditional work, this place is for you.

Cons

It's a very power-hungry group, and there were a few men that worked there that didn't seem to understand emotional boundaries.
