- Really pushes for new client business and is not the best at client retention, leading to large fluctuations in workload; some months you have too much to keep up with and other months the company has lost major clients and feels like its on shaky ground. - Workloads can be heavy; the company largely has a "keep the client happy at all costs" mindset and over-promises work to sign new clients; upper management in pitches do not always have a realistic understanding of what the day-to-day work actually looks like which adds to the over-promising. - The heavy workload means that often personal growth/development and long-term client strategy are pushed aside in favor of delivering scoped work. - Lots of meetings that don't always seem necessary/conducive to work. - Loooots of layoffs; definitely something the company is aware of and wants to prevent but as of my Q1 2026 layoff this has not been fixed. It's an ongoing issue with layoffs/downsizing regularly occurring. - Upper management is definitely aware of the problems within the org, and are constantly promising the company that they're working to fix them; unfortunately, the impact is not felt throughout the company.

Over time, change and churn made it difficult to maintain continuity or deliver consistently high-quality client work (change is a constant, so this isn’t something that was unexpected). There wasn’t a clear structure in place for knowledge sharing or documentation, so a lot of institutional knowledge walked out the door as people left. Teams were stretched very thin, often juggling too many accounts or responsibilities at once, which led to burnout and made it hard to be proactive or strategic. As a result, client work sometimes suffered despite everyone’s best efforts.
