Pros

- Leadership is usually true to their word (key word, usually) - No layoffs at this place but if you're not good, they won't hesitate to let you go - Culture is second to none - They throw great parties

Cons

- As you progress, pay and bonus does not keep up with other firms. They need to definitely work on this and everything is lip service until something is done. - They hired a new Chief HR Officer and all of a sudden, the health benefits went down the toilet. Especially if you have a family. - New career framework/titles are no good. Some people are average at best but rubbed elbows with the higher ups and received an inflated title. This really upset the high performers who didn't get the title they were looking for. - Some clients truly suck. I've worked at a number of consulting firms and for some reason the majority of clients we signed were truly horrible people to work with. - Too many people hired without a consulting background. This means the trained consultants would need to pick up the slack. I personally worked with someone that had many years of industry experience so they had an inflated title but when it came down to consulting skills, they were horrible and I felt like I was training an 8 year old.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
