Pros

You can be average and very junior and still land a leadership role, which is also frustrating for more experienced and high-performing professionals.

Cons

The management team is deeply disappointing. Some leaders display genuinely toxic and bullying behavior. The managers from NY office are the worst managers I’ve ever worked with - unethical, unprofessional, and extremely toxic. There’s also a concerning number of inexperienced managers driven by ego rather than leadership. I’ve seen people join the company excited, motivated, and full of potential, only to leave completely burned out and miserable. The culture often feels performative, people talk a lot about caring, but in practice, very little support exists. They order chicken-fill-A for breakfast after the worst behave to make things up and pretend they care. It's very frustrating. At times, it feels more like a high-school fraternity environment than a serious, mature organization, with many junior professionals overestimating their capabilities while lacking the experience and leadership skills to support a healthy workplace.
