Pros

Great benefits. You will be challenged daily and will learn a lot. Great resume booster.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Teams are way too small which means you will be doing the job of 4 people. Culture is stuffy and out-dated!! Terrible promotions process.

Pros

unlimited days off. work life balance.

Cons

Every perk has a downfall. you can have work life balance but then you won't get anywhere. You get paid and promoted on your political and networking skills. They say diversity is everything but they don't know how to treat you if you are not a certain mold and match your boss. A certain type is critical. You need a senior sponsor to pull you up through the ranks, otherwise you will stay where you are forever.

Pros

I love the Midtown location and the proximity to Ponce City Market and the Atlanta Belt Line. The office is brand new with lots of collaborative space and accommodations for every employee. From an ethnic lens, the iHub is more visibly diverse than other offices and there are several employee networks or resource groups that have created a sense of belonging among like groups of employees. There's a huge commitment to the firm's purpose across every area of the business and leaders are incredibly philanthropic. There's frequent communications from senior leadership about the firm, the market, and the role employees play in all of it as well which is great. Mental and emotional health is prioritized by leadership and the benefits are stellar all around, especially ! It definitely feels like a safe place to be yourself and I am able to take my full self to work -- natural hair, nose piercings, tattoos and all. As a woman of color I don't feel like I have to cover and that alone makes the experience that much sweeter given the environment I transitioned from.

Cons

I don't like having to pay over $100/mo for parking to come to work.
