Do Not Waste Your Time or Career.

Associate director

Business Outlook

Pros

The front line people who did the grunt work. The pay was on the low end compared to market, but not completely out of range. Benefits (PTO, 401K, Bonus, Health Insurance+) were in the top range until the changed came in Feb 2019. Work/Life balance was on par.

Cons

Where do I begin: Lack of focus; leadership at every level DOES NOT support the people who sacrifice nights, weekends, and time off to make sure projects succeed only to be laid off; very siloed environment, worse if you are remote; consultant heavy nature; no room for growth or advancement or pay increase; favoritism; rapid growth without clear vision or stability; clear bias in promotions; lack of transparency; lack of advancement for black people in the company; constant layoffs following large and unneeded mergers and acquisitions; mismanagement of funds; I could go on and on and on. All of this is reflected in their quarterly engagement surveys and by the client contracts terming, yet they did not make any moves to change any of it. Save the future of your career and do not bother applying unless you're a new graduate and need 2 years of experience. If you don't believe the reviews here warning you, read about the mess this company caused the non-profit it "partnered" with in Kentucky.

It has been a tough year and with that, we did have to revisit some of the offerings we had from when we were a startup. You’re right, most snacks have gone, but we do have a market in the Arlington office that offers quick snacks for reasonable prices. As for recognition, we continue to make sure to take a moment to celebrate our Walk the Walk winders every quarter. If you’d like more information on how to get more information, check out Mobius or reach out to your Talent Partner. We appreciate your hard work and feedback as we always are looking for ways of improving.
