Pros

They some how managed to attract a great group of talent. Have met some amazing and wonderful people that worked there.

Cons

Bully boss, hostile, abusive, toxic work environment. Untrustworthy leadership team. Culture is for show and to sell to people in interviews. Once you arrive, they could care less. Rather than fix the issues they allowed amazing senior team members to leave (in droves) and backfilled them with cheap mediocre talent.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
