Pros

Easy work, medical benefits, but nothing special for tech work in NYC.

Cons

Not the most talented group of individuals, plus waining benefits, slow wage growth. They removed the stock purchasing plan and just told everyone to suck it. Followed by not even full bonuses.

Thank you for your feedback. Company culture and benefits are important to us so it's disappointing to hear that you are not having a positive experience. After the close of the Merger, we are no longer a publicly traded company, which is why our our ESPP program came to an end.

Pros

Compensation can be very attractive for the right role. Serious player in the market. Strategy is a good one if it can be realized.

Cons

If you are not in the right role, compensation is well below industry average. Playing favorites is an understatement. Products are showing age. Many silos between departments and no plan to coordinate. Instead, the decision is to keep creating new groups with unclear objectives. Very difficult to allow new employees, even senior level hires, to make a difference. Said to want infusion of new ideas, but it is just PR, not reality. There are a few people with a lot of influence and these people want to stay fixed on what the company was five years ago. They don't know what the terms future, vision, or change are to an evolving organization.

Thanks for your feedback regarding Company silos as this information is very helpful for us when determining which areas are causing our employees the most frustration! As our Company has quickly jumped from a small sized company to a mid-sized company (now with over 1,000 employees) new teams have sprung up to support our growing initiatives Although you may not see or understand the objectives of these teams/organizations, a lot of time & deliberation has gone into where our Company needs the most support & how we can positively impact the business. We believe there may be disconnect in how the message is being communicated to the rest of the employee population. Visibility and open communication are at the top of our priority list and as we look for ways to improve our means of communication as we grow. By no means have we ever wanted to squash new ideas, so we apologize that you have experienced this. Our goal: promote cross collaboration. Interested in learning more about a new department, position or product? Let us know! We are happy to make introductions to the appropriate members of the organization and are always looking for fresh ideas. Our Company was built on the innovative & transformational ideas of our employees. Why change a good thing?
