Pros

Benefits are good. They have a very generous benefit package. If you are lazy, it’s a great place to work.

Cons

It is a cult. You better never offer suggestions or challenge management. You are paid to execute, not to think. You are a soldier. Nothing more. Management is arrogant with a lot of empty suits.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
