Pros

Worked with genuinely talented and kind individuals across teams. The monthly bonus structure was a nice incentive, and benefits were solid overall. Easy commute and convenient location, plus regular access to interesting fashion, were definite perks.

Cons

I was a tenured, high-performing employee with a strong track record, but my experience deteriorated quickly after new management took over. Leadership was disorganized, highly political, and inconsistent, with decisions driven more by internal power dynamics than actual performance. Despite delivering results and putting in consistent effort, I was pushed out as priorities shifted and favoritism became normalized. Hard work and tenure offered little protection in an environment where politics outweighed accountability. This may work for people who are comfortable navigating chaos and internal politics. For those who value clear leadership, fairness, and being evaluated on their work, this is likely not the right place.

Pros

Pay was solid and there was WFH opportunities

Cons

Constant changes in expectations, more and more work every week it seemed. Became impossible to keep up with KPI's to receive solid pay from our incentive structure and the clients we dealt with were insane so it just ended up not being worth the headache even though pay was decent. I know since I worked here they basically revamped the whole team so pay is probably much lower now.
