Pros

-Benefits -Fully remote -Some good co workers

Cons

The company continues to mandate the use of legacy software and manual processes that are not only inefficient but often incompatible with modern standards. Tasks that could be automated or streamlined with current technology are instead bogged down by redundant paperwork, clunky interfaces, and workarounds that waste time and energy. Employees often find themselves doing double the work just to ensure things are entered correctly into obsolete systems. Perhaps most troubling is the cultural mindset that supports this stagnation. Suggestions for improvement or alternatives are often met with resistance or outright dismissal. Innovation is treated as a disruption rather than an opportunity, and this mindset discourages proactive problem-solving and long-term thinking. Given the complexity and age of their systems, adequate training and documentation should be a priority. Sadly, that’s not the case. New hires are often left to "figure it out as they go," relying on tribal knowledge and inconsistent mentorship.

Pros

The people are truly kind, collaborative, and mission driven. Everyone genuinely cares about supporting higher education and helping clients succeed, and that shows up in how teams work together day to day. There are a lot of smart people here, and the culture is collaborative rather than competitive. It feels like everyone wants each other to win. There are strong opportunities to work cross functionally, learn new skills, and try new ideas. There is also real room to fail, test new approaches, and learn without fear.

Cons

The pace is very fast. The work is good and meaningful, but it can feel intense at times. I also wish compensation were higher, especially given the speed and level of responsibility.

Pros

The client portfolio is genuinely interesting, and the peer-level team is incredibly talented, collaborative, and supportive. There are great people working here at the execution level, and you will build strong professional relationships.

Cons

Retention and management are major issues. Turnover is incredibly high, particularly within the first 90 days for new strategists. The company conducts surveys regarding capacity, but internal data is ignored—workloads routinely exceed promised limits (e.g., managing 12 clients when internal models cap roles at 8). Furthermore, the management style leans heavily toward negative critique rather than constructive coaching, creating a lack of psychological safety. Internal mobility is also poorly handled. Toxic culture.
