Pros

1. Everyone here is nice. It sounds like a generic pro but I've never been in a company where people are so willing to share, talk with you, and help in your career. This was a big reason why I applied to GEP - most consultants were willing to give me time on the phone to learn about the company and their experiences. 2. Cooperative team environment. 3. Flexibility - internally, if you demonstrate capability, the staff is willing to accommodate and work with you to retain you. HR does a great job in retaining employees and many people who leave GEP to explore other options have returned. 4. High-growth: company is growing rapidly. We grew our personnel from 3000 to over 4000 in the course of the last year. 5. Very flat organization. Even as an associate, I feel comfortable talking to VP's and our C-suite. Because of how busy they may be, however, they may not always be available. If you're self-motivated and self-driven, you will fit in as there's very little micro-management at GEP. If you need a lot of direction, you may find yourself lost.

Cons

The following cons are all rooted in growing pains: 1. Many processes are being rebuilt because of how fast the company is growing. 2. Management resources are stretched thin and thus delays occur.

Pros

Nice and fun people and new office.

Cons

GEP frequently promotes itself as a company that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion. Those values were highlighted as a core part of the company's culture. Employees—particularly those involved in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—were routinely asked to volunteer significant amounts of their own time to organize recruiting events, support DEI initiatives, and foster a workplace where people from all backgrounds felt welcome and represented. That is why the decision to invite Nikki Haley as the keynote speaker for this year's GEP Innovate is shocking and unacceptable. Nikki Haley has a well-documented public record of anti-LGBTQ+ positions, Islamophobic rhetoric, and a deeply troubling political history. Choosing to platform—and reportedly pay a substantial speaking fee to—someone whose public record stands in direct opposition to the values GEP claims to champion sends a clear message that those values are conditional when they become inconvenient. What exactly was she expected to contribute to an innovation conference that could not have been offered by one of the countless accomplished leaders whose records actually align with the company's stated commitment to inclusion? For a company that so proudly markets itself as a DEI champion, this decision was profoundly disappointing. It undermines the work of employees who dedicated countless unpaid hours to building an inclusive culture and recruiting diverse talent. Frankly, it was disturbing to see leadership elevate someone whose views are fundamentally at odds with the environment the company asks its employees to create.
