Pros

great culture, great smart people, small company feel at least for a while, great executive visions if it ever truly gets executed.

Cons

Career path is a joke! carrot and stick game and plenty of false promises, I cannot speak for every practice I was in the Application development practice. General manager is a true believer of culture and work and life balance but this vision gets lost in transition to the consultants. poor client and scope management that leads to lots of miscommunications, confusion and put consultants in bad situations.

This is John Tobin. Thanks for your feedback. I plan on sharing with the Dallas leaders. As a company we are working on leadership development with our LIFT program - we all are a work in progress and feedback helps. Feel free to call (206) 374-4221 or email me to discuss any of this further.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
