Pros

Great colleagues, very good or excellent and caring managers (in the research teams), and a goodly amount of PTO days.

Cons

The pressure in all jobs is absolutely unrelenting. There is never a chance to catch up, breathe, and plan for the next big thing, BUT we are all expected to be in top form at all times and without positive feedback or reward. Morale is noticeably declining in multiple functions and offices. Raises are pathetic even when business performance is excellent, and if all you do is "hit targets" - which are set very high! - the raise you'll get is in the 2% range. A growing number of people are leaving for other companies where their talent will be recognized and rewarded fairly and regularly.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
