Vantaggi

Work-life balance is one of the strongest points of this company. Everyone has a ridiculous amount of vacation days from the very beginning. The salary is reasonable but not outstanding; the profit-sharing and bonus are nice. The benefits are very good, and the retirement plan is structured to make it easy to start building up money for retirement without even having to try that hard.

Svantaggi

Overly formal, not at all a meritocracy. Everything moves at a snail's pace and becomes wrapped in layers of red tape. If you are looking for a fast-paced job where you can rise quickly through the ranks if you work hard - this is definitely NOT it. Promotions are based on "who knows you", so be prepared to schmooze if you want to get ahead. Overt criticism or questioning of accepted wisdom, even when necessary and constructive, is often not welcomed.

Vantaggi

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Svantaggi

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
