Vantaggi
Once you’re signed off, you almost never need to answer things outside of work hours. Fridays are half day and you can work from home, at least for now, as they are looking at stamping this out. You get lots of time off for Jewish holidays and you might even get paid for them depending on your role! You will eventually get okay benefits after three months. There's one free banana almost every day and sometimes more free snacks and meals. You also get very good discounts at the store if you shop there. Most of the work is interesting and most people are friendly.
Svantaggi
Low pay and bonus structure that's below market especially for New York. Additionally, be cautious as they often will offer much lower than what they listed in the job description, something they won't mention until the very last second. Some employees aren't even paid for all mandatory holidays. There's no ability to work from home except for the half day Fridays, which you make up for by needing to spend nine hours on the clock in the office Monday through Thursday. You are forced to badge in and out even if your job makes just about no sense to limit timewise and often this leads to you working more than expected or things progressing much slower than they should. You actually work 41 hours a week most of the year and a lot of that is spent sitting in the office or getting to the office. If you can work remotely, they will complain if you do even if you're sick encouraging you to use PTO instead, which is absolutely ridiculous in the post-COVID world. There's little flexibility with working. You'll be penalized if you show up late even if it's not your fault. The office isn't a great working environment overall. It's noisy, visually unappealing, and overall not a good place if you happen to have sensory issues. One review mentions neurodivergence being punished here and this is absolutely true. It's an even worse environment for women or LGBT people as it's incredibly conservative. I would regularly witness extremely under qualified men get projects that skilled women wouldn't. I regularly heard a few employees make openly racist comments and lots of extreme political views with little recourse or way to complain. Nepotism is rampant to the point where projects would get severely derailed because of insistence work be done by people with more "experience" at the company usually meaning more time spent underperforming.
