Pros

umm... coool sweatshirts? great resume builder? Meal stipend in checks. That's about it.

Cons

Long, time-wasting internal meetings to hear leadership talk about how much they care about each and every employee, only to turn around and treat everyone the exact opposite. Where to even start? - Insanely long hours mainly due to extremely high sales goals, interrupted during the day by endless internal meetings, therefore requiring you to work late to get actual work down. - No real process or structure. It's all a facade. Millions of internal docs for everything, but when it comes down to following the steps, it doesn't mean anything. Every day is an endless stream of panic and doom while we try to put out fires because all of a sudden "the process changed", or "yes, it says that, but what it actually means is....", or "pre-approvals are required, except in the end they don't mean anything". - Referral bonuses are NOT paid out. They will string you along for months and months, passing you around from team to team, and you won't get what is due to you. But, miss a deadline for another stupid internal account plan, and they'll have your head. - Constantly talk of the importance of mental health, but won't thnk twice about why everyone is struggling and miserable. Extra sessions of Better Help don't matter if WE DON'T EVER HAVE TIME TO STEP AWAY FROM WORK I literally hopped on a Zoom call with a coworker first thing in the morning last week, and was met with this colleague in literal tears, sobbing that she just couldn't handle the stress anymore, and there was no point in escalating, since her leaders were also just as miserable.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
