Pros

• Competitive benefits. • Some individual contributors are helpful and collaborative. •The brand name opens doors elsewhere

Cons

• Toxic and performative management culture. I was being singled out by a senior team member, who subtly undermined me. The behavior was persistent and clearly meant to push me out. • When I expressed concerns about how I was being treated, I was told the issue was in my perception—not the behavior itself. • Compensation was $20,000 less than I made in the same role at my previous employer • A culture of “everyone’s replaceable” quietly permeates the management philosophy

Pros

Good place to start if you're fresh out of college

Cons

Not a great place to get promoted, very hierarchical and political, it's all about who you know.
