Pros
Great, hardworking coworkers that make the day-to-day enjoyable. If you worked for The Gordian Group 5-10 years ago, you would have experienced terrific career trajectory and growth, a unique company culture where employees had autonomy and were highly valued for their contributions, and pride in knowing you worked for a deeply ethical company that had no limits to its projected growth. Unfortunately, the structure, management, and culture changed in the last 5 years and many of the hardworking colleagues with tremendous institutional knowledge are no longer with the company, so this pros list will be obsolete in short order.
Cons
The focus of the company for past few years has been a revenue goal – this is not a con - but the vision of the company has been overshadowed by this goal and is not used as a path, a means, or an end. The mission and vision (and for that matter, the diversity) statements are paraded in front of employees but are not used in making decisions or setting goals, so there is no substance to them. The company lacks innovation and continues to develop products that are neither wanted nor needed by consumers. If the company were the Titanic, the executive team would be standing on the deck shouting, “You’re just too afraid of change!” as the rest of the company scurried to the lifeboats while the ship sank.
