Pros

Flexible schedule, including work-from-home opportunities Free coffee and bottled water Personal laptops are decent

Cons

In a word: Bloated. -- Top heavy! Everyone is a VP or a Director or a Senior Blahblahblah. Too many people who like to hear themselves talk. You will go to meetings all day every day, but nothing every gets done. -- No willingness from management to innovate or even entertain ideas from staff. -- Completely inefficient processes across the board, which can be frustrating, to say the least. -- Many staff who will not question why they are doing things that don'e make sense, and will outright resist any attempt to improve upon processes, likely because they do nothing of importance live and in fear of losing their jobs because of it. -- Compensation can be decent, if you come in high. Annual raises are downright laughable. -- Stock options are now worthless. Thankfully I never exercised mine. -- No attempts by management to retain quality employees, which reflects in the overall attitude (everyone seems to just be collecting a paycheck and biding their time, not really caring). -- I could go on, but why bother? I just don't care anymore.

Pros

The ability to WFH during the pandemic. The pay.

Cons

This company is rife with nepotism, favoritism and bias - especially for those based at the NY Hudson Street office. If you are related to upper management or are friends with a relative of upper management or are a related to a friend of upper management or are friends with upper management themselves, then this is a great place to work. In fact, you will barely have to do any work and all of your time can be spent being social not doing anything productive. If you are a general hire "from the outside," you will be treated as if you do not belong. You will also be bullied for being intelligent and competent and for knowing how to do your job. Additionally, you will have to do twice as much work to compensate for those who fall under the umbrella of favoritism. The net-net is that upper management has set the tone for a toxic culture only benefitting a chosen few.
