Pros

5% 401k Match Good health care and commuter benefit Sr. managers get free cars with gas

Cons

The pay is way below market, unless you're manager and above. No work life balance, the open space concept allows the managers to monitor what time you come in and leave. If you are not present for at least 12 hrs/day, it means you don't care enough for your job. Some people don't do any work, just bs their way through. No recognition of hard work whatsoever. If you are white male or female with short skirts, you'll be promoted. HR don't take any complaints or resolve any issues. You are expected to come into the office during the snowstorm, even if the metro or buses don't run. Oh there's no telework policy so feel free to risk your life on a slippery highway. Avoid this place at all costs, unless you're 22 and want something in your resume.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
