Pros

Good company culture, there are a lot of senior level people who invest in you and want to see you succeed.. I was there as a summer intern in 2008, and the pay was great, another sign that they are interested in you. The building is also extremely cool, and new age. There are several stocked pantries that provide free food, coffee, and soft drinks.

Cons

Work is not intellectually stimulating, especially if you are in sales. From what I hear, the compensation is confusing, and the room to move up is political.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
