Pros

Great for entry level employees. They get a great starting salary and benefits. Most people that work there are very invested in their job and actually care about the company.

Cons

While employees care about the company the company doesn't seem to care about employees. The pay increases are very small if not nonexistant and when you get a promotion or change jobs in the company there is no expectation of getting a pay increase as most roles don't have tiers and the ones that do share a large salary band. The company would rather let great employees leave and hire someone in from the outside to fill their role at a higher pay than the outgoing employee would have stayed for than offering a current employee a real raise, that's if they don't just "absorb the role" and make others in the group split their responsibilities. Three years in a row director level and above have had to take a mandatory unpaid leave of absence of a week or two as a "cost saving measure". Meanwhile they are sponsoring a race car, buying other companies and giving executives their bonus packages.

Pros

Strategic partnerships across internal departments; access to leverage multiple partners, SME, tools, resources to win opportunities; education/training opportunities are expansive and accessible. Great work culture!

Cons

So big, we get in our own way; escalating to problem-solve is extremely laborious and tedious to get standardized unified KPIs for consistency/expectations. Terrible onboarding for new hires; lowers morale from the beginning-on your own to figure it out if you do not have an organized, attention-to-detail manager-too long to help have experienced talent be turn-key since the applications/CRMs are extremely outdated; finding who you need to get an answer is cumbersome; if you do not know people, you will take that much longer to find the right internal partner to assist with basic tasks.
