CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Nice office with good views -Pretty good work life balance -Decent pay

Cons

-No clear track for success/moving up the ladder. -Performance reviews/promotions seem to be very subjective and not very quantifiable. -Much of the leadership is ancient and has been at the company for decade(s) so not much room for growth and no true desire to innovate. -Very outdated and proprietary tech stack. -Using internal tools and the terminal daily is a pain. -Pay/perks a tier below the other big tech companies -Very much of a corporate and finance vibe in 731 Lex.

Pros

Used to have free lunch . Not anymore. Cannot think of anything else.

Cons

If you are going there. Just keep this in mind. You can be Albert Einstein and be smartest in the world but you don't get promoted easily. Here Everything works based on relationships. Very long extra hours of work without pay!!! Zero work, life balance. Erratic rules: be buddy to your manager you can come 10 AM and leave 5PM not peoblem. Otherwise arrive 8:05 AM and you can be in trouble.
