Pros

Great Team Members, Big Name Clients, Good technology and tools to get the work done, lots of potential, company believes it can be the greatest firm on the globe over time.

Cons

Leadership does not know how to manage, more of a staff aug company, no real processes more smoke and mirrors, Promotions come with strings and 80 work weeks, work life balance is preached but not real. Leadership actually cannot deliver projects, but micro manages the results after a project fails due to bad leadership.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
