Pros

Great people to work with and a great attitude around the office in general. People seem to really love it, I would recommend a friend, provided they weren't applying to be part of the XD team.

Cons

Company advertises a lot of cool clients internally and externally, regardless of which office actually holds that account. Some people are overworked, some people are on the bench for months. XD team is redundant and does not do the work it claims to (in Chicago)

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
