Pros

You get what you negotiate so the rates are competitive.

Cons

-I ignored the warning signs and accepted a role here despite the negative reviews. That was a mistake. If you’re considering joining, take the feedback seriously. -During onboarding, I noticed several employees leaving. That alone should have told me something was off. Once inside, it became clear that work is not steady. Engagements end and, unless you are closely aligned with the right internal network, your position feels uncertain month after month. There is a constant sense that your job could be cut at any time. -The company continues hiring as if there is an abundance of work, but that has not matched reality. I witnessed multiple individuals being laid off, and eventually my turn came as well. -Another concern is how resources are staffed. Employees are encouraged to accept technical client work outside their actual skill set. That might look good on paper, but it sets people up to fail. When clients realize the expertise is not there, the consultant is released. That is not an individual failure. It reflects poor leadership decisions and weak resource planning.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
