Horrible Working Environment

Pros

- company brand name - decent pay (still slightly below market)

Cons

- terrible work life balance - lack of integrity among some leaders - they lie to employees and externals regularly, also encourage dishonesty - very high attrition due to the reasons listed above There were situations where concerning allegations were made to HR and nothing was done. I myself reported a situation involving a lack of integrity with a senior leader. The concern was dismissed without even an investigation.

Pros

umm... coool sweatshirts? great resume builder? Meal stipend in checks. That's about it.

Cons

Long, time-wasting internal meetings to hear leadership talk about how much they care about each and every employee, only to turn around and treat everyone the exact opposite. Where to even start? - Insanely long hours mainly due to extremely high sales goals, interrupted during the day by endless internal meetings, therefore requiring you to work late to get actual work down. - No real process or structure. It's all a facade. Millions of internal docs for everything, but when it comes down to following the steps, it doesn't mean anything. Every day is an endless stream of panic and doom while we try to put out fires because all of a sudden "the process changed", or "yes, it says that, but what it actually means is....", or "pre-approvals are required, except in the end they don't mean anything". - Referral bonuses are NOT paid out. They will string you along for months and months, passing you around from team to team, and you won't get what is due to you. But, miss a deadline for another stupid internal account plan, and they'll have your head. - Constantly talk of the importance of mental health, but won't thnk twice about why everyone is struggling and miserable. Extra sessions of Better Help don't matter if WE DON'T EVER HAVE TIME TO STEP AWAY FROM WORK I literally hopped on a Zoom call with a coworker first thing in the morning last week, and was met with this colleague in literal tears, sobbing that she just couldn't handle the stress anymore, and there was no point in escalating, since her leaders were also just as miserable.

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.
