Pros

There are plenty of people there who are great to work with

Cons

-Poor pay and benefits compared to industry standards -Culture of sucking up to leaders and publicly declaring your "passion" for the company. -Project assignments aren't based off your skills, but who you know -Don't expect to be able to advance your career. The convoluted promotion process is more effort than finding another job... and don't expect much of a raise if you do manage to go through it Maybe there was a time when the company had a good culture, work-life balance, and all the other things you read about in the reviews, but that time is in the past.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
