Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of non-monetary benefits (fresh fruit every morning, modern office space, relaxed culture, nice gym). Very deliberate planning (some complain this causes long delays in decision making). Easy to get involved in new opportunities, communication is clear and the company invests in good applications i.e. Teams, Workday. If you can stand to put in a couple years at low pay you'll likely be set up to get a much better paying job elsewhere. Benefits are great if you are already making a decent wage, but do not compensate from the lack of pay and raises.

Cons

Pay. For recent grads saddled with student debt pay is often the bottom line and you will not get it here. You'll get "promotional" raises while in a role, but if you transition to a role requiring more experience you will not get a raise and won't be told what you can expect to get. They get around this by not accurately classifying the role level. E.G. a role requiring 0 years experience is the same level as a role requiring 3 years of experience. The company can definitely afford to pay more but doesn't for unknown reasons. There are multiple managers in finance who put little to no effort into their job and there are no consequences because they've been there for 15+ years. You won't get to work your way up because no one wants to leave a cushy manager job with no deliverables. The CEO is very nice but no one understands the inflexibility on the work from home policy.
