Pros

They pay really well. They have very supportive internal staff (for IT issues, HR issues, etc.). They have some really fun company events (annual retreats, quarterlies, etc.).

Cons

There is no accountability and very little honesty. They have ridiculously bad middle/upper management. They are very political and slow to act. They write horrible SOW's which come back and bite the consultants.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
