Pros

- decent pay and benefits - fast-paced, high energy - smart coworkers - career opportunities, especially for those just starting their careers - nice amenities on campus (gym, career center, cafeterias, etc.)

Cons

- very political - "Good ol' boys network" culture is favored - rewards looking "busy" and finding extraneous work opportunities that have nothing to do with the business - expected to work around the clock (varies from one department to the next) - managers are often very out of touch with associates

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

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.
