Pros

Some great coworkers, a fun industry, some neat clients, good PTO and travel perks, you can learn a lot of different areas based on the variety of client needs in your portfolio to gain a lot of experience in a short time, opportunities for growth

Cons

I don't trust upper management at all. You will work more hours than anyone else on your team and then get paid the least despite experience, tenure and workload. They will make you pitch ideas that will not benefit the client at all and that they won't like in order to upsell them and waste their money. They will basically tell you that they don't care if you leave if you don't like what they're doing. They do employee engagement surveys and then do the exact opposite of what employees suggest. They don't care when clients treat staff very poorly (half the clients are incredible to work with and half treat you so horribly). They're also getting very political. There's also a very cliquey culture between some employees (not all!). You'll feel gossiped about, excluded and everything in between. If you go to a particular person in HR about it they'll give you horrible advice that could cause more harm than good.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback, pros and cons. Feedback is a gift, even when it Is difficult to hear. As a member of upper management, I won’t waste your time responding to all your points, as you have been very clear about your distrust. I will respond to one point that I feel I specifically own, the employee engagement survey. The intent of our annual employee engagement survey is to gather and understand employee sentiment, and to allocate resources to create and build benefits, systems, work processes, culture, etc. to address or improve in areas that are beneficial to both the company and the employee. The survey has never been intended to be a tool that indicates that the company will do or react to any/all employee feedback given. And if I have misled you or others in thinking that, then I apologize. But that is not the intent. I wish you all the best in finding a company that better meets your expectations. Mia Wise CHRO

Pros

You learn very quickly how not to treat people and what not to do as a leader. Great place to motivate you to want better for yourself.

Cons

MMGY is private equity owned and from what I’ve seen MMGY checks all the boxes of the standard PE operating playbook, acquire, cut costs, slash pay and benefits, increased workloads, degrading culture, mass layoffs, then sell at profit at the end. PE ownership is generally bad for employees by design. The incentive structure prioritizes investor returns over people and the cycle usually isn’t long enough for them to invest in staff. The CEO’s message on this was made clear in an all company meeting, if you don't like it, leave. This statement is the opposite of leadership, it’s complete indifference to how staff feels or that they might have any concerns. It’s someone who's run out of answers and stopped pretending to care. If you are reading this because your company was just acquired by MMGY, I’d run fast.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're sorry to hear that your experience has led you to feel this way. It's clear from your comments that you have concerns about the direction of the company, leadership decisions, and the impact those decisions have on employees. While we recognize that not everyone will agree with every decision that is made, we believe it's important to acknowledge that there are often many factors that influence business decisions, and employees may not always have visibility into the full context behind them. You also referenced remarks made during a company-wide meeting. We understand that messages shared during periods of change can be interpreted in different ways, particularly when viewed through the lens of personal experience. Our intention is always to communicate openly and transparently, even when the topics being discussed are difficult or complex. Regarding your comments about private equity ownership and its impact on the business, MMGY Global has operated under private equity ownership for many years, and throughout that time we have continued to invest in our people, serve our clients, grow our capabilities, and expand our global footprint. While there may be differing opinions about ownership structures and business strategy, our focus remains on building a strong, sustainable organization for our employees, clients, and partners. As a current employee, we encourage you to continue sharing your concerns with your manager, HR representative, or COE leader. Open and constructive dialogue remains one of the most important ways we can better understand employee perspectives and continue moving forward together. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
