Decent people, hindered by limited vision and inexperienced leadership
Pros
Most of the team are very pleasant. Some are excellent at what they do. There is a caring attitude for those on the COO's good side
Cons
Despite grand ambitions the company feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. The focus is on bums on seats and not exciting work. There is a lot of favouritism and cold-shouldering anyone who isn't part of the in group. This comes from the leadership team, who are mostly in their first true leadership roles. This really shows. The last two rounds of promotion have been focused on retention, and now there are people in senior roles who lack the experience to do them. 5 years consulting experience to Principal or Managing Consultant? This does a disservice to experienced employees, clients and the people over-promoted. They're being set up to fail.
