Pros

You get tons of exposure to C-level contacts at large companies. You also get lots of experience in cross-functional collaboration because the production of every work product involves the input of the entire company, including company execs. Company culture is also improving thanks to the hire of the current VP of HR.

Cons

The pay is atrocious and way below market. The CEO and President are notorious micromanagers who insist on forcing the team to attend pointless "training" meetings in which the same stale sales pitches are rehashed over and over. The company consistently misses sales targets every month due to unreasonable goals and chronically understaffed teams. But the level of stress you will take on as an employee will depend heavily on the department you are hired into (i.e., the Practice Groups and Business Analytics). There is also not much room for professional growth, as every director and executive at the company is a lifer, none of whom will be retiring anytime soon.

Pros

The tools we used functioned properly. My direct colleagues were organized and competent.

Cons

. I spent eighty months waiting for any clarity on what success was supposed to look like in this role. . Managers would assign projects and then disappear for weeks with no feedback, no check ins, and no guidance. . Work would be completed without any indication of whether it was correct or incorrect. . Issues were only raised later by executives who criticized results without ever defining expectations . There was no consistent explanation of standards or how work was supposed to be done. . Leadership failed to address the real problem, which was a lack of direction and management structure. . Employees were blamed for not meeting expectations that were properly communicated. . Over time,. the lack of structure and accountability became draining and led to disengagement.
