Pros

Lots of small perks, lunch, gym, etc.

Cons

Perks hide the insidious nature that is upper management. They don't care about employees, only numbers, stats, money.

Pros

Games make money, benefits are pretty good and if you're good at being a "yes" man/woman, then the compensation can be pretty good as well. There are some VERY smart people working at the analyst level and, as a previous review mentioned, strong friendships are forged out of the mutual hatred for the company that people have here.

Cons

Oh boy, where do I begin? 1. I've never worked at a company that is as emotionally unintelligent as MZ. There is absolutely no compassion or empathy for your personal life here. At MZ, you can either be successful at work because of the hours you put in, or you can be happy in your personal life. The hours you spend in office count more towards career growth than the actual quality of work you do here. 2. This is a place where work/life balance comes to die a painful gruesome death. There have been all hands meetings where the CEO has proudly proclaimed that they don't allow working from home and they're proud of people who work 14 hour days. 3. Dozens of people have quit across all departments of the company for the same reason and yet the upper management is bamboozled and puzzled as to why someone would quit the best company in the world?!? Sometimes people need more than financial incentives to feel appreciated.

Pros

+ Free lunch every day + Free snacks 24/7 + Medical Benefits + Reimbursements for days + Casual dress code

Cons

- Nepotism runs rampant, so I guess if you're a friend or relative (or even a bootlicker) you're A-OK! - Point out issues that are revenue-impacting and little to no care is given - Layoff waves with no real explanation except "we're doing fine" when the company is anything but - Being told to work harder when you can't attend company functions (but you're still not attending them) - Learning about projects being shut down from news articles instead of the actual company (i.e., Cognant) - Zero transparency from upper management and beyond

Not a place

Pros

Compensation is very fair. Good benefits.

Cons

Widespread incompetence in the upper management levels. Company as a whole does not care about the individual whatsoever, only the bottom line. People being fired for seemingly no practical reason, where a lay-off would seem more reasonable.
