Pros

-Inclusive environment -Great maternity policy -Great PTO policy (unlimited) and you can actually take it -Lots of young people in Austin office so good for fresh out of school -Social work environment if on the CS side in Austin (not as much on AM side)

Cons

-No one tenured to learn from, most tenured employees leave and they are hiring in a manner that will not attract tenured people to join. Also not very career development focused- there isn't a path involving longevity for employees past a year or two if you're on the sales side (or AM) and I received my first training this year in October after asking for it all year -Poor customer experience- they wildly re-organize employees and accounts saying its "best for the customer" at least once a year, when its really about retaining an employee who will ultimately leave in a year because they're already so fed up with how they've been valued -Low valuation of employees: sales pay structure is unclear and unmotivating, and targets are evaluated quarterly but are not communicated until Q2 is already in fully swing. Targets are also based on last year's performance, when the account likely was not managed by you, it could have been managed by someone much more senior. You could be doing the role above the role you're being paid to do for a full year or more, and you will be told to "prove yourself" or "show growth" regardless of your efforts and responsibilities -High turnover of employees as a result of the above, leading to frustrated clients and lack of support on servicing clients -Lack of empathy from managers and no true values around mental health. Sensitivity training desperately needed

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
