Pros

I think that they really do try their best and operate from a place of good intentions. My first two years at Impact Advisors were great, but my next year was terrible. I was assigned to great projects up front and then was assigned to projects outside my skill set but nobody seemed to care.

Cons

Impact Advisors is a highly political environment. Many of the staff, mostly the ones that the executives worked with at a previous firm, are protected and can do no wrong. Those of us that were hired without these political connections are often treated as scapegoats. The leadership is highly biased when it comes to promotions. The parameters for promotions are always changing. Even though there's a development framework, the change the actual parameters to get a promotion so even if you are completing their career development framework, you still may not be promoted. It's a frustrating and biased system they have.

Pros

Company culture is pretty top notch. You do feel valued. The Happy Team’s open door policy is genuine. Some managers and leaders are truly incredible. Team structure is great. Collaboration is great. They let you own the work and trust you to see it through. Great review process. Flexible schedules, as long as client needs are met.

Cons

Some upper management is misleading. Pay is not competitive or fair/equitable.
