Disgusting Leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Maybe if you enjoy remote work with a very relatively laid back environment, this could be a good place for you

Cons

Little to no career growth. Much of the technical work is being offshored which is disgusting as the company tries to maximize profits by lowering the quality of the work. Very disgusting leadership. First they say how well the company is doing and how every BU is amazing and then proceed to lay off a subset only to replace it with offshore labor or not at all meanwhile higher up execs continue to get promoted and new consultants are put into partner roles. The tech is old and out dated and will continue to do so as they push for subpar offshore engineers and the career growth is non-existent and management is not transparent. Likewise, compensation for average employees is below market median.

Not stable. Don’t do it.

Pros

Work from home is nice, so no one can hear you scream.

Cons

No trust, lack of direction, constant fire drills. Layoffs all the time. You’ll feel like there’s a target on your back.

Caution with sales leadership team

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Solid base compensation. Many work colleagues were wonderful and will be career long connections. Lot's of flexibility within data solutions to meet client needs

Cons

Across the different sales orgs everyone is selling the same data so it is a back stabbing / infighting culture- and that is what leadership want. Clients will be like wait- i just had this same presentation from someone else (thats a little akward). Sales leadership strategy is to discount >50%+ at the end of month/ end of quarter (basically name your price if you are a client). Does not create long term trust or partnerships. Are you in the inner circle of CRO or mid-management (good luck if not- you will not get preferred accounts or leads)? Expectation is 60hr weeks and to not have time to spend with your family (recognized as something to be celebrated).
