Pros

Challenging work environment; some very smart people

Cons

Office politics and favoritism play a large role in this company; false accusations from other co-workers just to get ahead; passive aggressiveness and negativity causing a toxic work environment, specifically on certain team in the Operations department. Raises/Bonuses are minimal. Don't expect to be fairly compensated just because you worked extremely hard

Pros

The company name looks good on your resume. Met some good people there and I can't imagine why they continue on in such an environment. The must be masochistic.

Cons

Too many to list-honestly! The CS/CRS division is nothing more than a sweat shop managed by inept senior management whose primary concern is to save money at the expense of providing a good service for the company. If you get an offer to work in CS/CRS as a "contingent" worker, run as quickly as you can in the other direction! The worst culture/work environment I have ever experienced.

Pros

The people are fantastic; motivated, outgoing, and intelligent.

Cons

They treat contingent workers badly. Terrible hourly wage, 60 hours a week routinely, dull backoffice work, with little respect or mobility given to people in contingent positions. To give perspective, I left the FX ICON team to become VP of machine learning at a competitive firm, so experience or competency was not an issue.They are genuinely treated poorly.
