Pros
We have weird people. From policy wonks to PhD science communicators or data analysts, you'd dig around the network and find experts in areas you never even knew about. We care about culture. That includes our leaders - our country CEO knows most of us by name - including interns. We don't always get it right, but I feel like management believes that culture is a massive differentiator. We invest our time in people. Our Singapore HR VP spends time getting to know colleagues of all levels, even personally welcoming every intern. Many of our leaders are rank-blind.
Cons
I won't say we're top-heavy per se, but building a broader base of junior employees and dedicated project managers will work wonders for the overall quality of our work and free us up to think. Extra points if we expose them to various verticals, specialties, and boutiques! Our processes can be improved significantly, with some legacy systems holding back our efficiency as we waste time just trying to submit time. Make your financial plans based on your base pay, don't assume that you'd receive a bonus.
