Pros

Innovative Tech Company with good senior management

Cons

Performance Management is on a bell curve and your 1-5 rating greatly affects your career trajectory, salary and bonus. As a result, associates are forced to "play the game" of doing anything they can to appear to be a little better than their peers. This creates a culture where employees routinely take credit for other employees work including managers who are playing the same game as their subordinates. All in it creates a toxic work atmosphere.

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.
