Pros

Lots of happy hours and events, mostly friendly co-workers, lax environment, casual dress code

Cons

Hard to get promoted, HR says one thing, does another. People always have something bad to say about you. No one is safe from the petty gossip. This company is like no other. The things that go on are unimaginable. Great for first job out of college but definitely not a place to grow within. They’ll full of empty promises and lies. If I have to guess, about 2-3 people a month quit this place during my year and a half here. Only got 2 stars because I met people there that were some of the truest and nicest colleagues but I unfortunately met some of the most unprofessional and toxic people as well.

Pros

fun media events, occasional lunches, work/life balance is decent

Cons

Salary is insulting and growth is stagnant, managers and leadership who throw tantrums (i.e. screaming, storming off, dismissing employees, sending attacking messages) without consequence, instances of very inappropriate relationships and conversation in the workplace, and the place is a rumor mill. Derogatory comments and sexual conversations/relationships shouldn’t be happening at all, let alone stemming from leadership. Unsure if HR is really just that oblivious or if a blind eye is turned, but with the amount I’ve witnessed in just a short period of time, I can’t imagine what else goes on here.
