Pros

- The people are great, I've made a lot of lasting friendships here - There are opportunities to grow your skills and learn new things - Decent pay and benefits - Before the struggles of the last 2 years, you could get promoted and grow your career

Cons

- The company is very unorganized, practices are often left to figure things out for themselves, which leads to mixed results. - There is a divide between "sales" focused people and "delivery" focused people. Practice leadership is generally sales-focused, which leaves the delivery-minded folks isolated and lacking leaders who care about the things they care about. - C-level leadership seems out of touch. There are frequent town halls that leave me with more questions than answers. I often lose confidence in the company after town halls. - Layoffs are common and there is a constant feeling of uncertainty

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
