Pros
-While the company is growing incredibly fast, it's still relatively small, which means that each new hire here has the opportunity to make a huge impact on the business and in doing so take on a lot more responsibility than they would get at other, larger consulting/tech firms. -Diversity: I've never worked somewhere so diverse. GEP is truly global, with offices around the world, but even the headquarters in Clark, NJ has an extremely diverse mix of people who bring their unique perspectives to the job. -Caring: GEP truly feels like a family and everyone treats the company as more than just a job. Given that we spend the vast majority of our waking lives at work, it's nice to be spending that time with people who are invested in building strong relationships that transcend daily tasks, quarterly goals, and the bottom line.
Cons
-As above, the company is growing incredibly fast while still being relatively small. This means that a lot of the infrastructure and processes that might exist at a larger firm don't exist here (yet). New employees need to feel comfortable working in an environment with a lot of ambiguity and not necessarily a lot of support. Management is investing a lot of time and effort into building the support systems that will help GEP achieve the next level of scale, but on the ground today it still can feel like a startup company. If you enjoy an entrepreneurial environment and don't want/need a roadmap for everything, GEP will be a good fit for you. If you need a ton of structure, documentation, and well-defined processes, you may want to wait a year or so to apply.
