Pros

Amazing people Director level and below. I loved my team. They do pay well, but I’d trade that back for all the time and effort I gave this company. You couldn’t 10x my salary to make me go back to this company.

Cons

Where do I start? Terrible leadership with zero accountability. You are a number to this company, no matter how much they talk about caring for their employees. I can’t even begin to mention the numerous amount of unprofessional experiences I endured from upper management. I wouldn’t ever recommend being a part of this company to anyone, nor would I recommend anyone do business with them. It’s a sinking ship losing 40% of its revenue in 2 years. I witnessed 5 rounds of layoffs in my time there, across multiple departments. HR is there to protect the company and not the employees. Their firing strategy was the most unprofessional I’ve ever seen or heard of. People with 10+ years gone over an email from HR.

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
