Pros

Good pay, able to be remote

Cons

The quality of work is awful. Every project timeline is too short, you never get to know anyone, you're just constantly meeting people and making throwaway busywork. The people are extremely fake and just smile. There are boatloads of people just chasing titles and that aren't very talented. Every project says it's agile, but there is no process or consistency. The work is just so tiresome and monotonous and low quality, there's not a lot to get motivated about. From day 1, they beat this career ladder/me@slalom progression crap into you, but it's just annoying metrics and there is no real career progression

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
