Pros

OnPrem cares about their image & culture so much that they asked everyone to write a GlassDoor review during an annual event filled with alcohol and unprofessional behavior. Let's get excited about Media and Entertainment & Consulting which is "not for everyone!" Pros first? The happy hours are fun, but remind me of college, and not in a good way. You might get to travel a little. OnPrem spends a lot of money on their annual meeting party. Salary is okay, and I've seen several people promoted during my time. I love my coworkers.

Cons

OnPrem is not a "Best Service, Best Clients, Best People" company. Services are mediocre at best & compete with budget over quality. Clients are frustrating to work with and OnPrem never says no to anything that will make a dime, even if it's the worst project you've ever worked on. The people are cool, but best is a stretch. While you technically work with "Media and Entertainment" companies, your work will typically have nothing to do with that Media or Entertainment. Typically you're dealing with the most unexciting wings of the company, managing assets or data, and fighting with frustrating software. If you're on a problematic project, expect your work life balance to be bad as well. Management pretends to listen, but in terms of substance they only update their message while avoiding addressing the real problems. Leadership has great arguments and responses when complaints are brought up but the core reasons why people are unhappy are never really addressed.

Qvest.US Response

We on the OnPrem leadership team make a concerted effort to provide all of our team members with the best experience possible. Our focus on media and entertainment clients provides our talent a unique opportunity to work in a transitioning industry. The types of projects we do varies, and we sincerely consider an individual’s career goals and preferences when determining who is best suited for a project. The building of team member experience also includes our significant investment in culture. We are proud of our acknowledgement in this area including winning LA Business Journal’s Top 100 Places to Work in Los Angeles in 2015 and Fortune Magazine’s 2016 Best Workplaces for Recent Graduates. Part of building this culture we desire is through rigorous screening and hiring practices ensuring we engage the very best talent in the industry. The other part of cultivating a thriving environment is in our commitment to provide opportunities for our teams to socialize inside and outside of the workplace. These factors have created a community that we believe is unparalleled in consulting. At the end of the day, we believe it is important for our team members to not only get to know, but respect and like the people they work with. We appreciate that this environment is not for everyone.
