Pros

Great culture and focus on teamwork and collaboration Interesting projects and client work, with opportunities for rapid growth and responsibility Fun company events and trips

Cons

Easy to get pigeon-holed and not as flexible of a work environment as advertised Not as meritocratic as senior management pretends to be Transparency could be better between the C-suite and the rest of the company Some projects and clients can be very difficult and controlling, but the company is reliant on the revenue stream

Pros

Cool office & perks, unlimited PTO.

Cons

My manager ultimately stabbed me in the back. Being a recruiter here is a trap. No one has your back, your are just an order taker and every stakeholder has unrealistic and unfair expectations. The founders have their hand in the entire recruiting process and it makes it so unbelievably hard. They want top talent but have not top talent pay. They are not flexible on RTO so good luck.
