Free Food, Long Hours
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
February 22, 2012
Pros: Free food is not bad. The coffee is also free. Don't have to pay premiums for healthcare, which is nice.
Cons: Scheduled work hours are eight am to six pm, and the pay is not too attractive for an educated New Yorker.
5.0
Great People, Opaque Pay

1.0
Disappointed, Miserable, Highly Political
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 28, 2024
Pros: All in a picture, nothing in reality. Very disappointed. Complained to HR about my manager; they didn't even listen. From what I hear left and right, people are not happy and are either actively searching for another company or thinking about it.
Cons: Pro-Ukrainians; God forbid you are Russian, you are not going to make it. They make your life miserable. It's a very political place and there's nothing good about work-life balance. Once Mike B. stepped out, it all started to go downhill. A bunch of trainings on harassment, but when it comes to the real deal, all is quiet like nothing is happening. It's useless; nobody is doing anything to prevent or follow up.
