Pros

Sales people centric, and we sales are always recognized. Great work-life balance, except for consulting team, most of teams don't work overtime a lot. Many nice people here, and overseas.

Cons

Really slow in payment to vendors. Takes years to register new vendors. Accounts Payable and Sourcing/Procurement teams (both are located overseas, not here) are poor in performance. Sooner or later, we will face black-ink bankruptcy.

We appreciate your feedback and you might be interested in knowing that the Finance team is moving forward with a new system to manage our suppliers and the associated payments. Yes, we are a global organization with employees in over 42 countries, but the Sourcing and Procurement Organization is 92% on-shore and primarily centrally located in our headquarters in Philadelphia. Our Accounts Payable organization has team members in both Philadelphia and also overseas and while we have had challenges with our payment process, we are confident our new systems and processes will remediate the issues that we are currently facing today. If you have any particular situation that you feel is not being addressed in regards to the set-up or payment for your supplier, please do reach out to me so I can personally assist. Jill Alspach Global Head of Sourcing and Procurement

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
