Pros

Good training ground for recent college grads, opportunity to travel, multiple industries served

Cons

At the end of the day, trade shows are a 20th century marketing vehicle...useful, but not as important as they used to be. Senior Management likes to spin accomplishments and company innovation, but it’s still a business just “selling concrete”. Lots of job protection decision making detrimental to long term health of company events.

Pros

Unlimited vacation. Decent compensation. Remote work opportunities.

Cons

No onboarding or training at all. Layoffs and restructuring are frequent. The company has no identity and does whatever to please the investors. It's all about the bottom line with no regard for employees or even customers.

Pros

Unlimited PTO was nice, but that's about it

Cons

This place was all around awful. Upper management had to consistently tell us we weren't being fired because they were laying off people left and right, when in reality they ended up laying off entire offices after promising they wouldn't. Team managers were EXTREME micro-managers, paying attention to the exact time we got into the office so we wouldn't leave a minute early (there are no set hours here, you just need to work 8 hours a day). My boss was remote and still managed to do this, on top of promising to let us wfh when necessary, but consistently saying no when asked. Also denying PTO even though it was an unlimited plan. To be honest, I don't think they know what they are doing over there. Hopefully they figure it out because although I loved my job, the culture and people I worked with were downright terrible.
