Lots of energy high stress - Senior Management Consultant SSB Consulting Group Employee Review

-Great team -Great culture -Great boss

-Internship was remote and I was not able to get the full experience during my time at SSB.

The direct team I worked with, including my manager and director, were amazing to work with on a day to day basis. Consistently learned new things every day and the 2 of them fostered a culture of learning and growth. We also got to work every day with some of the biggest teams in sports and did so while working remote.

All of the Pros are SIGNIFICANTLY outweighed by mismanagement at the top of the organization. For starters, when I was hired, they had negotiated in a bonus structure to get me to a salary spot that put me over the edge to join the company. The problem is that when it came time to pay me those bonuses, they gaslit me and acted like it wasn't a thing and that I was making it all up (not ideal). The senior leadership team would also constantly tell people what they wanted to hear and put an emphasis on career growth and all of the great things, but when it came time to act, they consistently had 0 follow through. Even when our manager got promoted, they gave him a new title with more responsibility, but almost no extra pay. The senior leadership along with the leadership on our engineering team were incredibly difficult to work with. It got to a point where the product was constantly breaking, and when our team would find solutions to issues that would solve 50 out of the 100 support tickets that we had, we'd get told our solutions were stupid and would never work. The result of the stubbornness from the engineering leadership is that we started losing one client after another because the product kept breaking over things that we offered up solutions for.
