Pros

Great people and good cutting Edge technology, minimal tolerance of manual tasks or tech debt and bottoms up driven development approach.

Cons

As the title says. People leaders get asked to coaching plan or pip 10% of their staff every 6 months which is insane and leads to an extremely toxic and competitive environment. Definitely would not recommend working here for that reason no matter how engaging the work is or how good the teammates are.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
