Pros

There's a soda machine in the building, coworkers are generally decent, PTO policy is fine.

Cons

I kick myself every day for wasting time of my early career here. Like most staff, I was promised career trajectory, growth, equal promotion and pay, and a good culture. Couldn't be further from the truth. This company is only going further and further downhill, and people have been quitting left and right. -Friends of mine have been threatened and intimidated into taking roles that they did not want or were not equipped to handle, only to later be told they were performing poorly and ultimately fired. -The last manager I had was a pathological liar who would bend over backwards for senior management, but constantly deceived their own staff. This ruined a year of my career. -Everyone here acts like the end of the world is near at all times and everything is the most urgent thing. I believe at its core, this company has good intentions - but we're not solving world hunger or moving mountains. Relax. -The egos at this company are unmatched. Everyone at the ripe age of 30 believes they rule the world and everyone needs to earn their respect. Our "consultants" aren't consultants at all - they're 22-25 year olds who can learn how to talk smart about a product. -The pay is laughable. Our entry-level staff qualify for income restricted housing, as junior salaries fall below the poverty line in DC! They say they "take care" of employees - but that's a bold-faced lie. If you don't have someone else paying your rent, don't bother trying to make it work here. -Saying the sales process is predatory is an understatement. Sales staff are held to unreasonable goals. Colleges receive up to 50 cold calls a day from junior staff trying to force them into sales meetings, vaguely disguised as a "conversation." There is absolutely no credibility left in this process or this organization.

Pros

Had a history of supporting employee needs (e.g. hybrid)

Cons

- has become obsessed with in-office culture and "being present" (i.e., super limited full remote roles now), would not be surprised if the exec team submits a RTO mandate soon - compensation is under what you should receive, regardless of tenure or level. The amount of work far outpaces your salary. -because of the point above, burnout and a culture of irritability is omnipresent. - do NOT take the senior promotion, it just results in more work (you do multiple smaller projects in addition to your current workload and now lead trainings) and a small pay increase that does not even match inflation. - expectation that less senior staff have to interpret everything, big lack of clarity between need-to-have feedback and preference-edit feedback - instead of annual raises that match inflation, you get to spend full days quarterly with the team talking about topics that have nothing to do with your day-to-day - Management has become very clique-y, good luck moving into management if you're not already a part of the clique (or fully remote) - Unpaid overtime is expected but you will get shamed for not doing everything during the workday. - We currently work with the military and with the police as recruitment strategists so ICE will probably be next
