Pros

The office is nice; there's cold brew coffee on tap and decent food from time to time for free. Free yogurt and cereal daily. Super flexible Work from Home situation in the Recruiting group (you only have to be in the office 2 days per week, and even those 2 days are relatively flexible).

Cons

Don't take a Recruiter job here. Can't speak on other jobs, but don't take a Recruiter job. There's no ATS system. There aren't any systems at all. The whole job is done in Excel spreadsheets and MS Outlook. There is a weekly report you have to fill out with hundreds of rows of Excel updates, something that would be automatically handled by the simplest ATS system. This is a big part of your job, whereas if there was any Software product being utilized, it would literally not be a part of your job. Also - 75% of reqs you work on will get cancelled, but the business partners approach you with aggressive, 911 level urgency for every single req. You put in a ton of work because you're under the gun, and then a week later they just come back and say "oh we don't need those anymore." The Recruiting group at this company is unlike anything I've ever seen in a professional environment. It was jarring. I've never written a Glassdoor review before - but I felt super obligated to for this company because I wouldn't want to see another person unsuspectingly join the Recruiting team.
