Pros

- Above average compensation - Opportunity to work on the forefront of industry developments - Great work/life balance

Cons

- The current management and Softbank are running this once-great the company to the ground. - All decisions are self-serving starting from the top management which especially in ISG demonstrates very little professional honesty despite countless proclamations to the contrary. - Deeply ingrained consensus culture - Constructive debate, honest feedback and decision ownership are actively discouraged and often punished.

Work-Life Balance: Widely praised for flexible hybrid schedules and a supportive, low-pressure environment. Standout Perks: Highly rated for its 4-week paid sabbatical program and quarterly "Days of Care" company-wide days off. Collaborative Culture: Features a friendly, ego-free workplace that strongly emphasizes a "we, not I" team mentality. Strong Benefits: Offers excellent overall compensation, including valuable stock options (RSUs) and comprehensive healthcare.

Cons

Pace of Work: Some employees note that projects and decision-making can move slowly due to the relaxed culture.
