Pros

Swag and office location I guess

Cons

Gross culture. One of the directors CLEARLY has a type and continues to only hire very attractive young women. It’s creepy. Everyone turns a blind eye. Ladies, this isn’t it.

Pros

Benefits and nice office location

Cons

I didn't last long here. In my first week some other colleagues advised me that my boss in particular was known to be a jerk - they were correct. They also told me women don't last long here. They were correct. Expectations weren't clear, I was blamed for my boss's mistakes, and I was given little to no work to do. The work was pointless, hours of meetings that could all be reduced to an email. Oh well. Glad I'm out of there.
