Great experience

Pros

I worked at Cumming on assignment for a client. It was a great experience in the sense that Cumming provides you with resources as needed to execute your job, at the same time giving you autonomy to operate. They trust your judgement and not micromanage. As long as you keep the clients happy, nobody will be looking over your shoulder and in this era of managing knowledge workers, a great plus.

Cons

Clients some times are unpredictable.

Pros

Fun culture, good pay, lots of perks. They will challenge you.

Cons

Don;t expect to last long if you are between projects. Not enough support for dealing with difficult clients. Upper Management cares, but seems too busy to really do anything.

Classic pyramid scheme

Pros

Nice people to work with below management level.

Cons

The company feels a bit like the Titanic on the way to the iceberg - ready to crash and sink at any time. Management seems to be aware of the looming disaster in the distance and try to fit as many staff on one lifeboat (account) without any support. After maybe six months, the staff on those accounts might hear from management but not in aid of career development. The management will want to add more people to the account without consideration to the workload and focusing more on the profits. Then we are told to create data to show how busy we are to add more resources $$$. Plot twist, management isn't on the Titanic at all - they're all living it up in Baja. Very stunted career development unless in management level. A lot of pressure to add more people to accounts and make profits over providing quality service. A lot of international import staff paid around 30-40% less than the local market rate salary. The moment I knew the company wasn't for me was during a company-wide video call regarding the terrible impacts of covid. One of the key topics was how staff wouldn't be having a salary review or bonuses for the year. It was extremely insensitive that Finlay Cumming had thousands of dollars in cash framed behind him on his wall during the announcement. For more information on the company please google "pyramid scheme".
