      Pros

      Lots of very energetic and smart folks Potential to pitch your ideas and drive your own path High end clients, so big budgets to work with Events and after work activities

      Cons

      As an hourly consultant, insane pressure to hit 40+ billable weeks WLB is not real for the lower level folks, or people staffed out to clients Benefits lower then other firms of this type Growth stagnant do to internal culture Being a 40+ white male used against you by your bosses More technical folks commonly under promoted, kept in worker bee roles to be more billable so you leadership is not as knowledgeable as your teams. This leads to issues and tension between your technical staff and others. Was told remote working was a future, was a total lie...have to be either close to the office, or willing to fly and live on site at a client....not real remote opportunities.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
