Pros

Free lunch on Wednesdays They treat you so terrible it pushes you to find a better paying job

Cons

Overworked Low pay and long hours Very high turnover Clock in and out like a factory worker All in all, this is a terrible place to work. I had only accepted it because it was my first offer in New York. Read every good review with a grain of salt because part of the onboarding process is to LEAVE A REVIEW ON GLASSDOOR. I didn’t do it. Seems unethical given the fact that you’ll most likely leave a positive review. Once you see past the facade of catered lunches once a week and an aesthetically pleasing office, you’ll understand that working here is a nightmare. They straight up do not care about you. After working there for two years, I never had a job title change and my total raise was 2%, which isn’t even a standard of living increase. As the months went on, my team got smaller and smaller as people started jumping ship, realizing there is absolutely no room for growth. I raised my concerns to the People team (HR) that I’ve gone above and beyond while working there, taking on more and more responsibilities as my team got smaller and smaller, and they simply didn’t care. They fully understood the situation and just didn’t care. I was told to “look at the bigger picture”. After realizing how insane that sounded and coming to my senses, I gave my 2 weeks notice and found a job in about a months time with almost double the pay. I was told by someone higher up off the record that it’s their duty to pay their employees as little as possible while getting the most out of them. Avoid this company at all costs.
