Pros

Good benefits and pay, Ability to climb your way up, Work with some talented people, nice campuses and well maintained facilities. If you’re lucky, you’ll land in a non-toxic environment where you will enjoy your job, Ability to make your work into whatever you want it to be as long as it can be monetized

Cons

Toxic and death of the culture, High expectations, Cut-throat/Political environment, Unethical performance management and handling of associate conflicts, Constant turnover and reports, constant HR incidents, Favoritism, You will have to listen to the CEO fake-cry every year at his all hands which takes multiple days. The culture of the design team completely shifted from human-focused to performance-focused when the contract for the members of Adaptive Path left and Amazon executives came on board.

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.
