Pros

The company is doing a lot of great things, great culture & community if you choose to get involved, positive future with quick expansion, and has good "intention" to do right by their people and clients.

Cons

* PTO is limited (sub par to consulting industry 18 days vs. 25+ days) * No stock options (RSU or ESPP) * Bonus is below industry (between 5-10%) * Below industry standard for 401K match about 50% less than standard * Base pay is average but if considering the entire package, then it's below industry standard * Starting to hire lots of junior and non-consulting people, which makes it hard for team lead to deliver to clients on a consulting standard * Not trying hard enough to keep the good people to stay * Senior management sometimes will do/say anything to sell a project and staff their projects including some misleading or (not specified) expectations or take into account what the team members want * There's an impression of mis-trust between management and everyone else for reason listed above

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
