Pros

Some good people across the business(that haven’t been made redundant)

Cons

Although I get good ratings it’s a terrible performance management model that treats people who are strong dependable performers as poor employees. You need to constantly shout about how great you are and ensure you only get involved in shiny stuff and avoid your core role to ensure your safe otherwise you risk a low rating. The people responsible for running the sessions are short sighted and I would not recommend to any grad or any other new starters in tech

* The work is exciting - get to work with new tech (AI) * Great work environment - they really value work/life balance

Cons

* Highly bureaucratic. Makes it hard to get things done. * Roles and responsibility misalignment often causes too-many-cooks -n-the-kitchen problem

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.
