Overall Frustrating Experience

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Convenient office location, affordable health benefits, vesting 403b plan, generous PTO, dedicated and friendly co-workers, high-profile organization, monthly staff-appreciation lunches.

Cons

Extremely stressful work environment, high staff turnover, management is untrustworthy and ego-centric. The leader sets the tone for the organizational culture, and as a result everyone is walking on egg shells. The other negative Glassdoor reviews are accurate. The best mental health treatment they offer is only available to the wealthy. If your kid needs help and you're too poor, you are literally told to go elsewhere. Very disappointing and frustrating experience.

Not what it seems....

Pros

Nice co-workers (for the most part), beautiful building/office, interesting work

Cons

There is extremely high turn-over rate. People get fired with absolutely no warning and for no reason. The company is elitist, and will only care about you if you are of importance/ connected in a way that would benefit their publicity. During my time there, I worked hard, constantly asked for feedback (which was all positive) and then was fired without any warning. HR IS TERRIBLE HERE. They are not to be trusted.
