Pros

Compensation is pretty well compare to competitors

Cons

Many directors and senior leaders appear disconnected from the actual work being done. Instead of recognizing and rewarding high-performing technical contributors, additional workload is repeatedly placed on them, creating unsustainable expectations and increasing the risk of failure. A mentality of pushing work on others to get it off your shoulder rather than working together as a team.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
