Pros

Good pay, on site perks, work equipment perks

Cons

Micro management. Examples -Turn on your webcam - email monitoring -slack monitoring -Mandatory full calendar They will hire you under the impression that you will be fully remote, then slowly “suggest” you go into the office.

We offer an unlimited PTO policy globally which allows employees to manage their work-life balance and avoid burnout. We hired and onboarded every employee remotely during the pandemic, and after it was safe to do so, invited employees to return back to the office through a hybrid working model. Our offices are equipped with perks like sit/stand desks, free lunch, snacks and coffee, a gym, salon services, dry cleaning, and even an outdoor conference room. We also provide shuttle services to NYC and back to help ease the stress of a commute.

Our CEO prioritizes leading with transparency and does so through his weekly roundup newsletter, open door policy, and Town Halls which always end with a live Q&A session. You’re always welcome to reach out to your HR Business Partner to discuss any concerns you may have. Thank you.

Pros

The people that work there rock, but that's about it

Cons

CEO won't look you in the face His direct underling (J) is so pompous and no one knows what he actually does Lying about their core tenants (care a lot about results) "all employees have to come in 5 times, better together", but its not all employees. Hardly any c suit besides people that lived 3 minutes to the office. Refused to get a NYC hub. Spent millions for a trip to vegas just to lay off 20% of company months later. Do not promote from within Huge disconnect from lower level paid people and high level paid people
