Credera Reviews

Pros

The people here are very highly skilled as well as genuine great people.

Cons

The bar is set really high, so keeps everyone on their toes, in a good way!

Pros

The kindest, most talented, best people I've ever worked with. They not only care about their work but also about you as a professional and human being.

Cons

Growing rapidly seemingly without the vision or support to handle it.

Pros

Credera is a growth-oriented environment and allows you to flourish wherever you are at in your career. You will learn from people who will pull the best out of you, and help you discover your potential. Not to mention develop great relationships :)

Cons

Client site can be self-contained. 40 hour minimum billable requirement can encourage pressure on the employees. While this is not a strict requirement, it is highly encouraged to meet your billable hours, because this is what helps Credera meet its bottom line. The new ownership of Omnicom also brings with it the corporate functions of a large conglomerate i.e. punctuality in time and accounting reporting, legal checking for management decisions, etc.

Pros

- very talented and caring majority - good opportunities to acquire competitive skills quickly (stretch roles can be numerous) - growing project variety in new geographies and industries

Cons

- lack of leadership and coaching in the Denver office (there has not been an office lead physically living in Denver for almost 2 years; there is a severe lack of senior people to coach the junior majority and create structure in the office) - decision making (promotions, staffing, strategy) is all done in Dallas; satellite offices have an unfair disadvantage when it comes to the results of these decisions - unfair and inconsistent performance evaluation practices (you must be staffed on the "correct" projects with the right leadership visibility in order to advance, something that is totally out of your control as a junior employee) - blatant favoritism (a select few across offices, practices, and levels consistently receive opportunities to shine and excel; they are talented and work hard, but inherently have a level up) - lack of investment in employees beyond project experience (very few opportunities to receive formal certifications and remain competitive on paper if you are not in a technical practice or not interested in Salesforce) - high turnover at the middle and upper management levels and with experienced hires (people are brought in under false pretenses and/or don't advance quickly enough and/or aren't supported for success) - lack of progress in the areas of diversity and inclusion (efforts really only began to take form in 2018 and it took until the end of 2019 to launch the first LGBTQ resource group... progress has been made but continues to move at a snail's pace despite grassroots efforts) - lack of commitment to and investment in the Denver office (the office space is too small for the number of people and lags way behind the other offices, let alone the competition) - lack of brand recognition and client base in the mountain west region despite having a physical presence in Denver for 6+ years (competitor firms continue to dominate) - terrible internal tools and SaaS suite, especially with project budgeting and forecasting

Pros

Great people and culture. Others look to help you grow and develop rather than tear you down to get ahead. Lots of growth happening and opportunities for leadership within the company.

Cons

Smaller company means you don't always have control over what sector you're working in. If you're early in your career the first few projects you get can define your experience.
