Pros

good variety of snacks and drinks

Cons

1. Management is utterly inexperienced and are just promoted based on the fact they have been there for 2 years because most associates leave before they even finish the 2 years there. There is no respect for decent work hours and managers make you feel guilty about attending a 1 hour gym class AFTER work, even though you continue with work after you finish the class. 2. Managers would constantly belittle you and make you feel "stupid" for things that are out of your control. They also don't take your concerns seriously and tell you that "life is unfair, deal with it" when you voice out a concern regarding having the unfairness of being stuck in a team with difficult clients and being judged on the same KPI 3. VPs are even worse because most of them are not even close to being mature or experienced enough to handle the role. A number of them are petty and will call you out for minor things such as "not wishing good morning sincere enough" or not "giving enough eye contact" even though you're swamped at work.
