Vantaggi
- If you're willing to put in the hours (the rest of the reviews are not kidding about the required 50 hours, but frequent 60 hour weeks), you'll be rewarded with promotions, and quickly - People heed deadlines - I got really good at excel pretty quickly
Svantaggi
- Pay was *not* competitive for the bay area, and not worth the hours. - Terrible work/life balance. They instated a test of "summer hours," which were a cruel joke. The expectation with summer hours was that you could leave by 7 (as long as you didn't have more work to do). I felt like I was being treated like a child. - Poor management training. I went from partial management of a person to managing a person, a project, and a client overnight with no additional training and no additional support until I asked for it. - Extremely high stress environment due to deadlines. - Most of the programs that we use (other than Excel) are not used by other companies, so there's little transfer value to other companies. - Other review say the people are really interesting, but I found that everyone was kind of the same. Very hard workers, very heads down, business backgrounds, a desire to move up the ladder. However, I guess this is to be expected since everyone does the same job (but at different levels).
