Pros

Best in class when it comes to datadriven conversations and projects. I learned a lot during my time.

Cons

Management did not really know what they were doing in terms of managing teams. Smart people in general but the lack of leadership was noticable. There is no such thing as work life balance. Forget trying to finish your work day in time and meet up with friends. There is of course always something to do (which applies to many jobs) but there is no understanding that it's impossible to be available all the time. The expectation of putting work first is insane. Covid put so much pressure on the teams. I don't think anyone actually feels well.

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Pros

Benefits are good. - Health insurance, 401k, unlimited PTO

Cons

The main concern is the volatility of job security lately; there have been a lot of layoffs lately, and that means an increase in workload for those of us still left. Clients can either make the experience good or bad depending on how demanding and nitpicky they are. I'm currently on 5 accounts, but one client is making work unbearable.
