Pros

Flat structure (no titles internally) allows for exciting cross-functional collaboration without formalities inhibiting exchange of ideas; free lunch at New York City office and lots of HR-sponsored events to help employees take a needed break; competitive client set allows for employees to work on very interesting projects with high profile clients; highly entrepreneurial, everyone regardless of 'title' is encouraged to cross-sell and win new business (very different than typical agency archetype which is to leave this to very senior managers); lots of opportunities for junior talent to work on stretch assignments and with senior leaders

Cons

Pay is not competitive with industry standards; unclear organizational structure at the top after going public; lots of emails from new C-suite but without context; very little inter-office rotation opportunities; outdated technology infrastructure

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
