Pros

Excellent office culture. They have a knack for hiring good people. As the company is large enough to attract large clients there is always opportunities to work on interesting projects. The company has an excellent stance on health and safety.

Cons

The pay is significantly lower than industry standard. Very difficult to get a raise beyond the usual 2% per year. There is a tendency to pigeon hole people into positions for much too long. The opportunity to advance is quite difficult. As the company is getting larger corporate is more hands off so if the office manager is not great it impacts the whole office.

Pros

On the ground floor there are really good people who are supportive of one another and it does feel like family There is opportunity to grow if you are ambitious and willing put yourself out there - employees often switch groups, relocate or get to work on projects in other parts of the globe Very flexible - many employees are fully remote

Cons

Uneven compensation structure between groups and within groups Inconsistent procedures/ collaboration between global regions Business growing too big too fast; poor acquisition onboarding Senior personnel from legacy companies not willing to adapt and change (I.e. sell to new clients/sectors, adopt new processes/procedures that are more scalable, etc) At times dysfunctional - employees and leadership on different waves lengths, poor communication of vision, competing priorities or goals Too much time spent creating add-on software to automate Finance, HR, Project Management rather than improving preexisting technology
