Pros

-Decent initial salary -Used to have a wide project portfolio guaranteeing utilization and aligning to company goals

Cons

-Hired tons of outside leadership who did/do not take into consideration the people at SADA -For years the communication from SADA was that selling the practice was not in the cards. After multiple rounds of unexpected workforce reductions, the company sold to Insight -MANY layers of management who are not proactive and simply reactive. I found it incredibly difficult to escalate a problem to leadership as there would be finger-pointing and playing the blame game versus assisting in a resolution -The bonus program was changed to pay quarterly based on utilization, but there were not enough projects to hit utilization targets rendering the program useless -Company goals seem arbitrary and not based on previous years actuals (Example: expecting Q1 and Q2 to produce the same revenue when Q1 is notoriously slower is setting everyone up for failure) -Merit raises went from fair to dismal -All the People aspects of SADA were eliminated (weekly talks with leadership, employee/team led activities, feeling like you're more than a number) -Obvious nepotism in leadership that I'm not sure is recognized by anyone but the ICs

Pros

There are smart people here.

Cons

I am a high performer, was brought over to help build out a new part of the business only to find out most of the leaders don’t even work on a regular basis. Most people buying their time until Insight finally drops the big axe. Just about every detail of my offer and how the job was explained is a complete lie. I keep hearing about the once great legend of SADA, but it no longer exists.
