Pros

Tech forward, sound mission statement, great benefits

Cons

Overaggressive delivery timelines, risk analysis and best practices ignored if it conflicts with a milestone or deliverable. VP rubberstamp appovals are frequent regardless if potential impact. Horrific mid year and eoy review process. Recruit top talent but force calibration to meet numbers. Upper management tweaks senior management ratings based on their viewpoint. Removes credibility of reviewing managers for their direct reports. No longer about the person doing the job and what they are delivering; everyone is just an employee ID, especially if you are not located in McLean or Plano.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
