Pros

Some nice people here and there (those that haven't fully succumbed to the Kool-aid). PTO is generous even for early career folks (but watch out for flexible PTO, they expect leaders to be on all the time and to limit PTO even when it's unlimited).

Cons

Bought into the "work life balance" mantra but turned out leadership is so heavily x-Accenture that behind closed doors management complains about anyone who isn't working more than 45 hrs/week. Workloads were unsustainable and women consistently underpaid compared to male counterparts. Promised annual professional development spend as part of compensation package but was only allowed to use it twice across 8 years—told repeatedly that the company couldn't afford to provide everyone with professional development spend (so then why did you offer it?).

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
