Pros

Flexible hours, 401K match, some really good, decent & hard working people

Cons

Please please please don't believe the 5 star reviews here from relative newbies. Terrible culture, rewards are unfair. Shiny object syndrome. Whoever publicizes their work the most gets the carrot. 50% data scientist attrition YTD (2017). Do your research on LinkedIn before joining this company.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
