Pros

- wonderful coworkers - 10am start and WFH - summer hours (Fridays half days) - generous PTO and benefits - annual bonus above average (10-15%) pre-COVID - great place to start your career - well known clients and ability to get hands-on experience - opportunity to grow within the company - annual retreats pre-COVID

Cons

- highly disorganized - under-staffed and under-compensated - lack of communication/ transparency from upper management - trying to implement too many changes within a short period of time - upper management seems very indecisive about business objectives and future of company - company and office structure is unorganized and no consistency within different offices and teams - HR seems to start too many projects and push deadlines without actionable next steps and findings - continuously cancelling town halls especially during COVID, leading to a loss of trust with employees. ex. not addressing round of layoffs during townhalls - current employees are being placed on new teams without being informed and employees’ viewpoint/professional goals aren’t taken into consideration - 2020 focus was on development and learning however there was no progress so 2021 has same goal - hiring high-level seniors after laying off account team members - new company structure doesn’t make sense (BU/GEO) - company is taking too long to acquire new business

Senior leadership sets a great example

Pros

You will think you’re part of a vibrant, growing company. It’s a Ponzi scheme.

Cons

Serious nepotism and lack of empathy for employees, make money / who cares about clients’ long term needs.
