Fun place and potentially good experience if they like you
Pros
If fun to work here- they have a really big budget for parties, internal celebrations, bar in the office- fun colleagues/etc. Beautiful office to enjoy- you'll meet good people and enjoy going into the office
Cons
You'll be paid under market. Always. If you are well-liked, you'll have a lot of opportunity to try different things within the company and get to do a lot of travel/etc. They internally call moving around a "spiral staircase"- aka you just keep doing different roles without moving up and this is a way for them to 'reward" you without paying you more. You would not believe the number of conversations I have been in where there were discussions about how to retain employees and motivate them without paying more.If you are not well liked, you will have no opportunities no matter how hard you work or how good you are. Recognize if this is you and leave- it won't change and it feels horrible and is mentally very unhealthy. Also- if you stay too long, you will not be able to get hired anywhere else- the experience you gain here can be very silo-ed and niche and no one anywhere else will care that you led an internal team to spearhead a conference of some kind- i have seen this happen to multiple people who stayed too long and had a fancy Director title then couldn't get a job elsewhere. In my opinion, the most ideal person to work at this company is someone who comes from wealth and needs a fun job but doesn't need to make a lot of money or have career growth. They have excellent health benefits and other perks. but if you need money and growth- not the best place
