Pros

- A nice, well-located office with friendly building staff - Salary for an associate is very reasonable

Cons

I have taken a year to right this review to ensure it is still true 12 months on: - No support or real opportunities for growth if you are starting out your career. I was left alone on my very first project, it didn't go too well, and my confidence was knocked from that point on. There was also 0 work in the area me and ~10 others were hired for. As a result, my skills never developed, and it was wasted time. - Like most private sector companies, all the culture and values go out the window when the going gets tough. - Lack of honesty (regarding redundancies and promotions) and Westminster-style messaging from managers who were out of their depth in terms of their ability to communicate things like real human beings should - Odd drinking culture with inappropriate instances that were swept under the rug -

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
