Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is very good. Hours are fine. The project work is interesting and the clients are generally very easy to work with.

Cons

Management is terrible and the company is so cheap its unbelievable. There are very few perks to working for this company. Management cuts corners and delivers poor products when cost to the company is too high. On various occaisions, we "fit the data to our recommendations" rather than structure our thoughts based on hard data. The company is dead set on using antiquated marketing techniques and is giving itself a bad name as a consultancy. In a few years, the company will be widely known as being a farce.
