Pros

- Most people are nice and fun - Fairly decent salary - Semi-regular and fun post-work events - Nice office in a good location - Some positive additional benefits At the end of the day, it's your choice. I was fully aware of the negative reviews before I even submitted my initial application and kept checking them throughout what would be a 3+ stage interview process. I'm sure any thorough applicant does the same. Some people clearly have a great experience there - but personally, I didn’t find the culture to be positive or supportive in any meaningful way. I struggle to see how that perception could be true, but many people do succeed here. Though in what way, and how they find that fulfilling, I really don’t know.

Cons

For the sake of not repeating what others have already said, I’ll simply say that my time there aligns almost exactly with the worst reviews already posted. So instead, here are a few simple points to give you an idea of the day to day: Expect long hours with little justification. A culture that often feels more focused on putting people down than teaching them how to do better. The work is highly repetitive and lacks variation. Be prepared to be spoken to as if you don’t know anything at all, constantly. There’s little to no intellectual challenge involved. This is a sales role, no mistaking that. However, there’s virtually no strategic thinking involved - especially in the first couple of years. Unless you're happy working 9–10 hour days with minimal reward beyond a slightly above-average graduate salary, it’s worth reconsidering. Learning opportunities are limited unless your long-term goal is to manage sales teams or navigate challenging workplace cultures.

-Start-up vibe: a lot of system are not set, unfair and biased leadership decision without logical context -You still work a lot compared to the associate time. -not many options after you finished 3 years of manager
