Pros

The aesthetic The snacks The company on paper.

Cons

They have hired way too many people at once and are not able to focus on them all and giving them the proper on-boarding process to be successful. They are tremendously out of touch with their talent. I was being trained and I asked for feedback as critique so I can improve, but she told me she was too busy to help me help the company improve as a brand new hire and left me to fend for myself. Operations team seems stressed, under pressure, and it rubs off on people poorly by creating a hostile, toxic and unwelcoming environment. My environment was filled with bad attitudes and vulgar, offensive, unprofessional language on a daily to the point of feeling extreme discomfort. The company defiantly does NOT live up with its core values and the greatly displayed culture is not false.Through my experience here, I have dealt with miscommunication and lack of communication. I was hired on as talent here, but I do not possess the talent to read someone’s mind. This company reads great on paper, the building looks great on the inside, but once add and keep the toxic employees, it is a nightmare.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
