Vantaggi
I was here for 2.5 years and the people are by far the company's best asset. I became genuine friends with the majority of my colleagues, hanging out both in and outside of the office. I genuinely looked forward to going to work every day because, while there was often a heavy workload and tight deadlines, you are surrounded by friends. What's nice about Care, is that typically includes your direct manager, as well as your peers. This type of personal relationship was great for open and honest communication, teamwork and trust. Every manager I ever had kept their reports' best interest in mind, ranging from leaving their team for a new opportunity or leaving work early to attend a personal event. The trust and friendship made everything easier, more enjoyable and was beneficial to all. Of course, I can only speak to the teams that I was on (Marketing and B2B), and not say, the creative team. But everyone who I ever worked with on my teams were A+ friends and role models, and I'm assuming that's true for most. Further, the people here are all very smart and always willing to help. If you're just starting your career, this is a great place to come surround yourself with good, smart and helpful people. My advice would be to come get your experience, learn as much as you can and then get your promotion/raise elsewhere. Lastly, a major perk is the freedom. Depending on your role and manager, the hours can be pretty flexible, with the ability to leave early, one late or work from home when needed. Get your work done, show you can be trusted and the freedom is nice.
Svantaggi
If you move around internally, don't expect to be paid market value. In my experience, and in talking to others, when you're given a raise/promotion to a new role, it's given on the lower end of the allocated range for that position. It was explained to me first hand by someone in HR that I wasn't eligible for more money because I was internal, when the range clearly indicated there was a budget for a much higher salary. The big money is reserved for outside hires. As the company grows and scales, there are some growing pains. For instance, new (and seemingly endless) approval processes can lead to some wasteful time, blown up projects and last minute changes that can be frustrating and make you feel like you've lost autonomy with your projects.
