Pros

Great leadership. Strong vision for the future. Really happy with the forethought the most senior leaders have with respect to the direction of the company. Good project work mixed with some strategic staffing work.

Cons

Sometimes the long term vision for the strategy of the individual, project, office or company isn't well disseminated leading to a feeling of just being staffed in an individual contributor role. As I've seen and learned more about the long term vision I better understand where I, my local and and the firm is headed it makes those assignments more understandable.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
