Pros

Some people are nice, but most are not (in Markets, at least)

Cons

- Abysmally old technology actively makes every day harder and less productive. Countless emails and week(s)long process to troubleshoot and fix technology - Absolute disrespect to entry level employees, you are NOT ever a consideration, you can expect to be openly badmouthed if you aren't around. You are not an investment, you are free labor because it is cheap to retain you for two years to do the worst work, then fire you by not promoting you (This did not happen to me, it happened to others in my year). Very image driven place. - Rancid culture due to absent HR: people will gossip and degrade team members when they aren't around, everyone else can hear it, this is extremely, extremely common - Stingy, stingy, stingy. Food in the cafeteria at the Global HQ is more expensive than at the Duane Reade next door. Very few meaningful benefits compared to peers working for other employers

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
