Pros
Brand recognition (although, not so much these days) Compensation (depending on timing of offer and grade level/title) Tribeca location (not in Midtown; can be great commute for those who live downtown or nearby)
Cons
Leadership is lacking empathy, engagement, and accountability for developing and supporting staff Outdated technology -- when I joined, I wasn't even given a laptop to work hybrid, had to bring my own Upward mobility can be challenging -- must be willing to apply to new roles at a higher level to advance Employee engagement survey not taken seriously, treated as a compliance exercise "CYA/out-for-self" culture Poor internal communication -- in all directions D&I still focused on representation, not actually creating cultures where staff of all backgrounds can feel included Cheap: very minimal cost-coverage of team-building activities, networking, events, engagement activities, etc. There is budget to do almost nothing (in my experience) that would contribute to employees feeling recognized and engaged Poor clarity of roles/responsibilities; nobody really knows who is supposed to do what If you have a bad manager or a bad relationship with a manager, you best bet is to move on switfly Tribeca location ( not a ton of food options in the area if that matters to you) Poor work-life balance (depending on your department/team) Despite lots of bureaucracy, there is still a lot of inconsistency across functions/teams/departments
