Pros

- Decent code base - Some good people at the company who will help you learn and improve - Good extras (retirement matching, annual bonus etc) - Nice vacation time

Cons

- Mandating return to office 2-3 days a week despite every indication from past company meetings that employees are not interested - A lot of toxic practices and micromanaging disguised behind things such as 'culture'. 'collaboration', 'team building' etc - A huge amount of 'for lifer' employees who lack external perspective and who parrot whatever the company stance is - Tone deaf all hands meetings to hear about the senior leadership teams trips and vacations

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
