Pros

Access to training and education, cool office, free snacks, excellent benefits, some great people

Cons

I worked here for many years, and wanted this to be the company I'd really turn into my lifetime career. The office is amazing with their free snacks and tons of perks, but after a while you realize its all there because everything else associated with working there is LITERALLY miserable. They give you great vacation time (4 weeks to start), but trust me you will need every single day of those 4 weeks just to avoid ending up in a padded room in a mental institution. I made some amazing friends here, but there are SO many people who are honestly clueless about how to manage people and/or how to interact with clients. For every action taken there are 52 internal meetings and 15 procedures that are old and do not work. You will spend half of your energy fighting internal battles just to get a YES or NO answer. Unless you literally want to use this as a "stepping stone", are looking for something to beef up your resume for a year, or if you have no interpersonal skills and can't find any other job - then stay away.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
