      Pros

      very supportive, very educational, very friendly. The best first post-undergrad job experience I could have hoped for, and the company is growing lik crazy now!

      Cons

      Long hours, and very strange leadership roles. At the time not very international, but I perceive that this has improved dramatically.

      Pros

      You get to work on cutting edge technology and tools. There is good documentation and constant review of standards and processes. Location is great. The NY office is located by Union Square park and there are lots of great places to eat nearby. You get to work on interesting projects and industry leading products, platforms as well as with project teams that are comprised of smart and motivated co-workers.

      Cons

      Management is constantly scolding staff in front of other co-workers during and after meetings. There is too much micromanagement from leadership. Promotions are limited within the tech teams. There is a high turnover rate due to employee dissatisfaction and ability of staff to find better opportunities elsewhere. Salary is below industry standards although it has improved recently due to improved IT market conditions.
