Pros
Cultural events and museum perks - especially in New York City. Free or heavily discounted access for employees and their guests. This is an amazing benefit!
Cons
Where to start? It’s very toxic environment. The place is a mess. The management is a mess. People are only there for themselves. No team building or sense of supporting culture. Blame is being passed around and no one actually takes responsibility for anything. People throw each under under the bus all the time in front of your own team and in front of others. Very uncomfortable. The leadership is not diverse. The majority are white men who are fake chummy with each other on meetings and it is very non inclusive if you’re not into or accepted into that old school jargon. Very few women or ethnic people (men and women) lead here. Dysfunctional leaders are not removed or even asked to change even though employees continuously and desperately reach out to HR for help. Toxic and depressing. Leaders also can not manage workload. Employees in the team are drowning in work and if not completed you easily get called out in negative ways. It is your fault - not theirs. Also the tools, programs and processes are old and very ineffective. No modern cutting edge drive at all this place. It’s also a sense of “do not ask questions” so if things are unclear and you ask for clarification, the lid is on and you are left with uncertainty and later on - blame. You are left in a catch 22! This place is for people who do not look for true success but chose to be in a place that is a “big name”. There is something so off about this whole place and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced because I truly thought I had won the lottery when I got the job. I was dead wrong. But it all comes down to poor management who are creating a terrible repressed and toxic culture.
