Pros

Pay is solid Work hours are more flexible and gentle than other large consultancies. The people on the ground are almost always kind and good hearted. Delivery teams bond together.

Cons

Senior Leadership no longer understands the company. There is no meaningful direction to try and fix the existing challenges. Promotions are mostly political now - vs in 2022 where Merit still ruled. A lot of vapor ware and 'fake it till you make it' coming from Director-MD levels, where all they do is delegate, and not contribute value any more.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
