Pros

Good benefits. Good vacation and sick time. Some fun events as a company. Can really make some good friends since every has a health background. Opportunity to work from home. Various work shift.

Cons

Disconnect between divisions of company. Health coaching standards set up people who have never coach! No room for growth/advancement. Company is so money focused that health coaching has becoming more like a telemarketing robot. Nearly impossible to have any work/life balance due to the crazy work shifts. Recruiter lied about ease of changing shifts. Lack of diversity in management.

What a mess

Pros

Most of the people are great to work with Flexible/working from home schedule

Cons

Too many changes the last 3 years that have been disruptive to workflow and morale among employees. Extremely juvenile and cliquish among employees (has everyone reverted to high school tactics and mentality?). Expect favoritism and some people getting promoted based on how much they suck up to management instead of advancing due to talent, dedication, and hard work Development/QA in client delivery given redundant, simple work that does not challenge technical skills for either role Suggestions to improve a process or tool not taken seriously or management/executives does not seem to care

Pros

- depending on which department or vertical you're in, you get to work with some talented and nice people - decent paid time off - free bottled water - good office location - free bagels on Fridays (but it's from the worst bagel place in NYC) - good summer and holiday parties - good place to start if you want to get your feet went in the digital space

Cons

- horrible maternity/paternity leave policy - not allowed to work from home unless your manager lets you under the radar - lack of direction from leadership; they're out of touch with their employees. They don't want to know who you are and don't care about you - merit bonus and raises are measly - lack of ownership/teamwork from other departments. you need to figure everything out the long and hard way. keep rolling out process than creates tension and friction between departments - high turnover on client services side. low morale due to overwhelming amount of work and lack of seasoned account teams. hiring contractors and college graduates with little to no experience does not replace someone with 10+ years of work experience - poor work/life balance and senior leadership not willing to staff with experienced candidates because they're cheap. if you do well, expect more work with no support - hard to make lateral moves due to "level/number" bureaucracy. Even if you're qualified, may not be able to make the move as your current job "number" is too low - employee performance rating feels rigged so that it's almost impossible to get 5 out of 5. Only a few dozen people in entire organization can get this score. If you make the move, you prob won't get the salary or title you deserve
