Pros

People act nice. Many events with food and drinks.

Cons

The last few years have been very bad with high attritions and dirty work place politics. Its very common to see someone else take credit of all your work and be rewarded for it. The company is full of "leaders" who lack basic understanding of the work they deliver/sell and have 0 accountability but are there because they are friends with the right people and are white. The HR is completely helpless and policy is driven by practice MDs , they create exceptions as and when they want. The "leaders" lack any sense accountability and would hide behind random events to cover up their failures. In 2022 they tried to whitewash a lot of problems as "growing pains" however when you look at the numbers they were actually shrinking ! Now they've started attributing all the problems to the "economy" and "market conditions". When the times are good though it's all because of them , when they were accepting promotions every 6 months based on hardly one or two successful sales pitches , no one said that " the market is so hot or the economy is doing so well and selling in this market is a cake walk" It' was all because of their handwork and talent but when things go south it's because of external factors.

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
