Pros

Some really smart and motivated people at the business unit level that often go above and beyond the call of duty. Opportunity to really learn in depth processes and build strong / lasting relationships with great people.

Cons

Employees are expendable and viewed as cogs in the bigger machine. Company management needs to actually develop business plans with strong and clear benchmarks and milestones. Rolling out "concepts" and hoping for the best has proven to repeatedly to cause tremendous disruption and loss of employees. (And loss of customers.) Company is not nimble.

Pros

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

Cons

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
