Pros

The benefits are very good

Cons

No work life balance - they load you up with client work over capacity but expect all deadlines to be met no questions asked. Everything is about the bottom line which means sacrificing employees' wellbeing. When someone leaves, their position isn't replaced, instead they expect everyone to just take up the slack. Work is expected on weekends and evenings and there is zero respect for your personal time away from work. Taking a vacation is next to impossible and even when you do, you still get calls/emails that expect to be answered. You can get promoted but expect to put in 60-80 hour weeks to get it, and you will get called out for not putting in enough billable time if you're only putting in 40 hours a week.

Pros

Remote, kind group of people, and flexible with working hours

Cons

Said early in, intended to give every intern a return offer and would be transparent with that process. When it came down to it, every intern had to reach out to management on their own and inquire. Also work was unevenly dispersed among intern group. Some interns were given 40+ hours of work a week, while others were struggling to put 15 hours on their time cards. There was almost this expectation to find work to do, but realistically you can only spend so much time going through all the training videos and practice excel sheets. Ultimately, I would say this really impacted decisions to give returns or not. The work is extremely dull, and the pay is not good enough. They spend too much money on an office in Hudson Yards they don't need (it's gorgeous though) considering most people are fully remote. They should focus on paying lower rent, and paying their employees more.
