Pros

It looks great on the resume and you learn about cool TikToks and trends. I’m in the GBS org (not in a Sales role). Per diem for food, reimbursement (although the process is horrific not even worth the money), and really sharp team members

Cons

It’s messy; very messy. Things are moving so fast that there’s little strategy and you’re encouraged to say yes to everything and everyone. NO alignment amongst teams—so there are multiple groups working on the same thing and it can’t be stopped. Join for the year and bounce—it’s what a lot of people do. Look at former TT employees on LinkedIn and you’ll see they’re all there for a year and change. They’re also adamant about returning to the office for three days a week which is going to lead to a lot of exits.

Pros

Salary and internal team culture. Never faced any harassment or discrimination, unlike several previous companies.

Cons

Cross functional and management culture has taken a nose dive since the JV sale. Leadership tanked everyone's performance ratings in the last cycle to save money and reduce headcount without paying severance. There is no training or support for new leaders, who bear the brunt of pressure implementing new strategies and trying to protect staff from burnout. The company's insistence on full return to office is another tactic to force people out.
