Pros

- Unlimited PTO for Director level and above - WLB exists, dependent on the role

Cons

- Loose, autonomous interviewing style has led to a wide spectrum of people through the door (some are close to incompetent) - Cloud is not at the core of their business - it's still growing and going through growing pains. Lots of folks there don't know cloud but have internally transferred into cloud-facing positions - Leadership did not take swift action to make needed resource changes during 1H 2023 leading to changes to RIF and major changes bonus payout structure with short notice (less than two months notice until it takes effect) - Lack of clear strategy and priorities means that the company continues to take a "wait and see" or "organic" approach rather than picking big bets on the way forward to grow its business - For a company that sells change management services, leadership doesn't seem to embrace change management - No existence of internal job board, making internal moves solely contingent on who you know rather than level playing field for all - Seems to be channeling Amazon Leadership Principles more and more rather than sticking to own culture or building its own

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
