Pros

- Some cool and smart people - From time to time cool atmosphere - Decent pay - You can develop some good soft skills

Cons

- Probably the worst management I've ever had, unable to communicate in an efficient way - Most of the Managers think they're really working for a consultancy and have horrible behaviors - Pretty boring job where the learning curve is basically zero - People just thinking about money and business all the time - Poor company culture and people ready to stab you in the back if needed in order to make career - Managers tend to micromanage

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
