      Pros

      - Good Salary - Good Benefits - Modern Tech (mostly)

      Cons

      - No stock options - Performance management is ridiculous. Every 6 months you get “stack ranked” against all the other associates at your level in your org and the bottom X% (I’ve heard anywhere from 7-15%) get PIP’ed. Even if you’re in a high performing org they have to cut a certain number of people by mandate. It’s terrible for moral and causes a lot of unnecessary stress, and often ends up forcing out good people. They also won’t account for personal circumstances *at all* so if you have a major medical issue for one performance period well… good luck.

      Good place to work, until it isn't

      Pros

      - Most of the people I work with regularly are very good, both technically and as people - Very competitive salary and benefits - Generally good hybrid in-office culture. Special days for things like free breakfast, or various events and celebrations.

      Cons

      - Stack ranking with forced distributions creates unnecessary competition, and not in a good way. Also depresses associate morale on a larger scale. - Many practices that are more performative than substantive, in service of the "influence" competency. - For a company that claims to be a tech company, they are very stingy on the stock awards compared to other large tech companies. - Giving managers and Sr. managers more responsibility, without the support or resources to implement. - Constant reorgs and rebrandings, often during the same year, so you have no idea which organization you're working for.

      Pros

      Good tech stack with most infra details abstracted to pipeline configuration files. Overbearing amount of swag

      Cons

      Forced stack ranking creates a toxic competitive culture. Excessive re-orgs mean you're constantly trying to impress a new boss and not employed long if you get a bad one.
