Pros

The nature of the projects/programs and customers's core business are interesting and rewarding in terms of self development. Employees can learn from working with many different industries and broaden their knowledge this way. The people there are brilliant and competent, and there's a really good feeling of cooperation overall.

Cons

This is a horrible company for a hardworking and ambitious professional, as working hard and achieving results will take you nowhere but exhaustion and burn out. The more you work, and the more results you achieve, the more it's demanded from you with no appreciation/recognition at all. They advertise themselves as a "fast track career" company but people don't get promoted as they should. Until they resign and suddenly everything is possible. Leadership treats people as mere resources, something they just use to achieve a goal. There's absolutely no training nor knowledge base/transfer. Only a few people actually know what they are doing. Those people are not given the opportunity to share their knowledge as they are overloaded with work. If you take a sick day, the company will chase you and call you on your personal phone to make sure you know they are watching you. Calls to your personal phone number after working hours are common. Development plans are absent and 1:1s are a waste of time as your manager will do nothing towards your career development, nor will provide you with constructive feedback. During Covid19 the company did nothing but putting more pressure on their employees and demanding more from them. No extra compensation nor measures were taken during this time. A lot of people left the company due to that.

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.
