Pros

-The name will look good on your resume -Hybrid environment, for most employees -Although not truly competitive, benefits (e.g. health, dental, etc.) to many are a Pro

Cons

-Horrendous leadership -Toxic workplace, get ready for hostility -Siloing, as they use "platforms" that are inherently siloing and a rigid hierarchy -The most inefficient systems you will witness (you give them Salesforce, they manage to make it the most difficult system to interact with by "customizing" it) -Really lame hardware and systems that will make you less productive, efficient and focused -The dreaded open office environment every way you turn (again, less productive, efficient and focused) -Not attention to employee well being -You won't have permission to breathe during your workday, let alone do much; and those that do have permission will struggle to make decisions and commit to any forward momentum -Massive issues in knowledge sharing and communication -They have not figured out the hybrid vs in-person logistics -If you've had good benefits, that cost you absolutely nothing - get ready for a whole lot of money being deducted from your paycheck to get the cover that is federally required -Non-inclusivity, don't bring yourself to work, only bring a shell they will try to polish for you -The longer you stay, the less professional you are bound to become -Are you looking to develop your career, good luck here, it's on you!

Pros

This organization is constantly evolving but I think generally in the right direction. Great place for those who strive in unstructured environments.

Cons

Hours can be long and you have to enjoy travel.

Pros

Great exposure to ideas, good broad experience that can be applied to other jobs

Cons

Lots of infighting at the top, leaks down to lower levels. The Forum makes poor hiring decisions and teams suffer.
