Pros
I’ll go with the typical answer of saying people. People are always good, and in circumstances like this they band together and their even better, closer. But I also want to make it clear that this a negative review of the company, so I’ll say no more here.
Cons
After the recent rash of new positive reviews in response to the negative reviews that came out (Behind the scenes detail: a lot of people let go recently, well… more than usual). And you can expect this from 7Summits as a social business agency. They’re watching these reviews because they know smart people read them. And when they see a negative wave of attacks they ask their folks to respond in kind. But then there was this recent statement which really got me (I wonder if there will be a redaction tbh): “Resources are spread thin and they don't have a large 'bench' because 7Summits needs to stay focused on their bottom line. They currently don't have the luxury of employing people who are not billable or currently not contributing.” If that doesn’t make you run for the hills, I don’t know what will. This company wants to live by the Netflix culture: be a superstar or hit the road. But they're missing a key element in the equation: they are NOT Netflix. They’re not a Silicon Valley startup which makes a big impact on your resume if you’ve been there 1 year or 10. They are a company that, at best, your future employer has not heard about, because if they have heard of them, likelyhood is that they’ve worked with them. And an association with the work delivered from 7Summits is not the kind you want. Sales pitch, yes, they look great. But actual delivery is a mix of missed expectations, hidden change orders and lack of attention to work. A statement like this would have me looking over my shoulder. Sure I’m working on 5 assignments right now, but am I next up on the chopping block? And when I walk out of here, certainly I have some good skills learned, but maybe not a resume item strong enough to equate to the way I’ve been treated and dumped. Evaluate YOUR worth!
