Not great management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I had some freedom to work at home or in the office, and half the time I had little-to-no management over me.

Cons

The other half of the time management was overbearing. I was asked to put in overtime because "a little overtime never hurt anyone" even though I wouldn't be paid extra, nor did I have extra work I needed to do.

Pros

-actually surprised how much PTO I'd accrue over time. -a lot of offices around the world

Cons

-Upper management is not personable and basically speak to each other during speeches rather than to the company. It's cringe -T e r r i b l e work/life balance and compensation. absolutely terrible and I cannot emphasize this enough. As someone who enjoys working and dedicating myself, the work is administrative, thoughtless and mismanaged. -You will not be put on a team based on your interests but simply by what team is struggling the most. If you decide to work here, fight very hard to be put on a team you actually think seems cool. If they say there's no openings, they're just trying to fill bodies on the burnout teams with major turnover. -Turnover is insanely high, even for NYC standards. -You only will earn a company award if you work 55-60+ hours per week. You will not even want an award because everyone you know that has one works hours like 7:30am-8pm, and on weekends. -They pretend like they give you accounts/responsibilities because you've earned them but it's because there's major issues and you're a scapegoat. -No sense of cohesion, the people really do not inspire me at all. everyone is sort of a worker bee.

Terrible place to work

Pros

Manager and team were really nice people

Cons

0 work life balance. Everyone is extremely overworked and the company overall is constantly taking on more capacity while being extremely understaffed. The job entails a billion things that no one person/position should be responsible for, (ex: why would client services deal with billing?). The clients are emailing with issues hundreds of times a day, but you also have to problem solve while doing a bunch of other work your manager doesn’t have the time or want to deal with. It was extremely common to cry every day of this job, and everyone on my team knew we wanted to quit but were waiting for the right time or when they found another job. STAY AWAY!
