Pros

Very flexible schedules, work from home options allowed for work life balance. Benefits for Manhattan based employees are good.

Pros

Week vacation around Christmas time. Flexibility with work hours and some work from home options.

Cons

Merger has been awful. Cost of benefits increased dramatically. They are doing away with monetary bonuses for the most part for a silly points system that many do not favor. You no longer get to carry over PTO time. All of the SOPs and systems are changing. Resourcing is horrible and top performers get rewarded with more work. For a company who states that there goal is maintain top talent you sure have a poor way of showing it.
