Pros

Transparency of strategy. A very diverse product offering which means financial stability. Many opportunities to engage with senior leaderhship, regionally and globally. Not a perfect training or onboarding system, but Futurestep is investing heavily to bring a world class talent management system in, so that our training and initiation process will become second to none. Recently there have been several very senior hires globally, which shows FS is investing at the top and bringing some world class operators in to the picture. I think futurestep is well set up for the next stage - remembering that as a company it's only 10 years old... not many other players can say they got to this stage, worts and all, in just 1 decade.

Cons

Process and systems need to be improved. There is a new global CEO (no longer Bob McNabb) who has 4 global initiatives to get these tasks underway. He's a very strong process operator, with an impressive background, so I can only see this improving. As a business we don't advertise much - need to get out there more.

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
