Pros

We genuinely do great work for our clients.

Cons

Senior leadership are invisible. Poorly thought out initiatives created every month. These initiatives are tracked but the outcome for the business is not (e.g. they track the number of conversation with prospect you have but give no indication if it leads to sales). More admin with no benefit. Ancient technology and systems from the 90s. No pay rises for 2.5 years in spite of increasing hourly rate they charge clients above inflation!

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
