Pros

Location is nice. Expectations are low, so it's easy to glide through with little effort if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Very toxic environment with inadequate management. Many of whom are in their position for reasons other than their qualifications and thus are in over their head. The compensation is considerably below average Manhattan compensation packages.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
