Pros

The teams I work with are great. Supportive team, hard workers. The culture is great (though believe they are in hard time causing to decrease).

Cons

Staffing agency at heart (though depends on the department you are in). the individual contributor roles are difficult and sometimes the only available items. The firm tries hard to state we are not (but in actuality we are - that's how the company started) The leaders are very much thought leaders and not so much implementers. This is difficult when projects are declining and all you get are philosophised responses that do not help. It feels very fake when you chat with certain leaders who love to hear themselves speak. Promotions are odd and requires the consultant to sell themselves to dozens of people. I understand it's a great way to understand how to pitch yourself but it is vastly different from traditional promotions where you are recommended by leadership.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
