Pros

- Decent work/life balance - Often times the people are great regardless of market - MD and below leaders seem really capable and smart. Often suggest good options for direction

Cons

- Pay is not competitive - Executive Leadership is pretty bad at decision making - MD level leaders are completely ignored and have no real say - Has transitioned to a big 4 style consulting firm. No real culture anymore or connection to local markets or cross team capability communication.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
