It's fine but, like someone else said, everything just works out for them in the most unlikely, far-fetched ways. They get jobs that they're wildly under-qualified for by just being themselves. They sleep with whoever they want to (including very senior management) with zero consequences. A woman who has never had an orgasm miraculously has one by doing nothing really except sleeping with a new guy for the first time (because we all know that happens on the regular).
Sadly I think that this reinforces what we were all told when we were kids: that we are special snowflakes and we just need to be ourselves. The reality is that the corporate world is cut-throat, we did graduate into the worst job market in modern times (as one of the characters points out in a rare glimpse of realism) and there are hundreds of applicants for every job; so you won't get that amazing job you want by doing a crafty mood board and showing that your parents think you're special: you need to be hard-working, (over) qualified and stand out from the crowd. If you sleep with the boss, people will find out and belittle your achievements (especially as a woman). And if you get anything stuck in your nether-regions, go to a frickin doctor and don't ask your friend to take it out in a closet at work that anyone can walk into.
As long as you take this with a very large pinch of salt and realise that it is ALL fiction and enjoy it for what it is, it's fine really, if nothing overly interesting or groundbreaking.
