Pros

Beautiful campus on Parham road, well managed. Lots of activities with free food, popsicles and activities. Lovely HR department with lots of opportunity to be involved in different activities. Mountains of free (starbucks etc) coffee.

Cons

A young marketing company (10+ yrs) that has created its own technology to meet the needs of the business. The purchase of Royall by The Advisory Board will in the long term be a positive as the technology struggles to keep up with the pace of the business. When clients visit, employees are required to dress formally on specific days. Some departments have recently moved to a new location a few blocks away, the dress code is more casual (no client visits).

Pros

Had a history of supporting employee needs (e.g. hybrid)

Cons

- has become obsessed with in-office culture and "being present" (i.e., super limited full remote roles now), would not be surprised if the exec team submits a RTO mandate soon - compensation is under what you should receive, regardless of tenure or level. The amount of work far outpaces your salary. -because of the point above, burnout and a culture of irritability is omnipresent. - do NOT take the senior promotion, it just results in more work (you do multiple smaller projects in addition to your current workload and now lead trainings) and a small pay increase that does not even match inflation. - expectation that less senior staff have to interpret everything, big lack of clarity between need-to-have feedback and preference-edit feedback - instead of annual raises that match inflation, you get to spend full days quarterly with the team talking about topics that have nothing to do with your day-to-day - Management has become very clique-y, good luck moving into management if you're not already a part of the clique (or fully remote) - Unpaid overtime is expected but you will get shamed for not doing everything during the workday. - We currently work with the military and with the police as recruitment strategists so ICE will probably be next
