Pros

None that I can think of right now, except that the experience taught me not to listen to some people who sing praises of the company while they may be having a rare experience due to their specific team.

Cons

No trust culture, onus of trust is on you. My manager never scheduled 1-1s with me. Trashy hiring practices to fill up positions to support very fast growth. Good people getting stuck with terrible leads and useless teammates. Managers sound nice but have no concern for the people. Toxic environment. Agile show offs DEI show offs

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.
