Pros

If you're a naive, recent college grad with little to no experience in the meetings & events world who desperately needs a job and will work long hours for a measly salary and marginal benefits, then you've landed on the perfect place to work!

Cons

- CEO is pathetic. He's the most unpolished, full of himself cheapskate out there who is only successful because he locks his clients into iron-clad contracts, nickels and dimes them (i.e. charging his own customers implementation hours for a required migration from the Lanyon platform to the Cvent platform--both owned by HIM), and treats his employees like nameless & faceless minions. - Management spends more time requiring employees to document productivity than actually encouraging them to be productive. You'll be spoken to if you're timecard (required even for seasoned professionals) is below 45hrs/week. - "Bleed Blue" or you're out! If you're not loyal and kiss up to your managers or to leadership, you'll be looked over for any kind of promotion. - Any kind of "promotion" is a scam to trick the above naive, recent college grads to think there's upward mobility. Is it really a promotion when someone in the same role goes from Analyst to Sr. Analyst, to Consultant, to Sr. Consultant, to Asst. Lead, to Lead, to Sr. Lead, to Asst Mgr, to Mgr, etc.? Wake up and smell the Kool-Aid. - They refer to India as their "Secret Weapon" and everyone is required to give part of their workload to the teams there. At one point there was an MBO related to it. - Benefits (i.e. health, 401k, vacation policy, etc.) are horrible. I mean, that would require Reggie to open up his wallet for something other than his own purpose that can't be shown via a PR stunt.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Cons

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
