Pros

- Friendly group of people who have a lot of social outings, provide solid onboarding programs, lots of community service options (if you want to) - Beer on tap in the office (I know awesome) - A competitive- but not against each other environment. Also provide a lot of freedom to employees to take charge on new initiatives they are interested in. - Provide an opportunity after 3-4 years to invest in the company. Senior leadership also seems very open to listening to new ideas regardless of status - No forced travel for Local teams - Pay seems competitive for local consulting gigs - Pretty open to investing in your self improvement/ anything other than actual tuition reimbursement

Cons

- Could provide more clarity on how the bonus program works - Terrible 401K options (25% match on up to 6%... 1.5%) - Poor Vacation time (3 Weeks) - Sabbatical is great and all, but if you're promoted to a higher position (where you aren't billable all the time) you aren't going to be eligible and still get poor PTO. - No Sick Days - Can be clicky/ fratty (I believe I heard one of the newly appointed senior leaders use the term, "That's Gay"

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
