Pros

Good for big 4 consultants looking to reduce travel. Many big companies are clients, which gives exposure to large local companies. When you start, you're a shiny new penny.

Cons

Focused on growth in profit, vs. quality growth of hires matching to roles. Mainly staff augmentation roles, with very little focused on the right match with right skills. Very cliquey management, mainly focused on whether you are a part of the "good ol' boys" club. Feels like a fraternity. Raises are very limited and you are lucky if you get a $1-$2 /hr raise in 3 years.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
