Pros

I really loved this company from the start from onboarding and the like Competitive base salary/decent bonus structure especially if you're in the preferred circles. Comprehensive benefits package: the basics are covered. Generous PTO policy on paper though actually taking it can be a challenge depending on your case load and leadership's mood. Strategic work in high-stakes situations. You’ll see real business challenges just don’t expect the same level of transparency internally.

Cons

Despite the shiny marketing and constant talk of being a meritocracy, the structure is deeply hierarchical. Promotions are sluggish and unevenly distributed. For such a small group, the culture feels cold and fragmented. Mid-level leaders are kept in a holding pattern with little ability to shape projects or drive initiatives. If you’re not part of the trusted few, expect to be heavily managed, second-guessed, and underutilized. Also a striking disconnect between what’s preached in internal communications and what’s practiced.

Pros

They provide you with free snacks and soft drinks.

Cons

They have not been able to retain a Vice President for longer than a year because their culture is so terrible. It is the reason they pay above market. They pay above market because they work you for 80 hours a week, call you on weekends, never train you, and the Directors talk about you behind your back. Everyone regrets working here after a couple weeks. If you try to come up with new ideas to change, it is met with strong resistance. Look around the Chicago office and you will see nobody interacting, nobody taking lunch breaks, and some Directors barely acknowledge you walking by.

Pros

Co-CEOs are both strong and some people are smart, professional, and nice to work with. Some projects are really interesting and give good learning.

Cons

But the company is evolving maybe too quick. Now there is too much focus on politics and looking inclusive, and less on real performance. Staffing feel sometimes not fair, not always the best person get the role. Culture is not same like before, and for some people this new direction maybe not feel right.
