Pros

- Flexible/agile work hours depending on your team - Company has a great social mission, unfortunately it doesn't translate to the - Working on huge well known brands - A lot is asked from you which gives you an opportunity to learn a lot in a short amount of time

Cons

The company is going downhill fast, I wouldn't return unless they do some serious overhauling on their business strategy. Short sighted cost savings initiatives are killing the culture and will continue to drive employees to leave. With all the opportunities in the NYC area, you would be a fool to stay with the sinking ship. - Terrible retention; probably due to everyone having to double hat with no promotions or increase in salary - Not much room for advancement. Management expects you to stick around in the same role with negligable raises for years, even if you are doing a good job - Pay is not great for NYC area. Company will short change and in some cases stiff you on your already small bonus - They make employees that live in NYC pay to ride the shuttle to work

Pros

agile working, aspirational external goals set by ceo...that's really about it

Cons

no opportunity for advancement, political, culture is terrible and creates nasty and unhealthy competition causing people to leave, everyone double hats because of so many vacancies but not compensated or rewarded at all. people are beyond frustrated or have already left and are loving their new companies. also maybe give health benefits if not bigger salaries/ bonuses.
