Pros

Benefits and salary are good. Entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.

Cons

GP is too decentralized and BU's compete with one another. PM's are doing Financial and Recruiting tasks. If you are not core services you have to continually find and generate your own work to sustain employment. GP does not reinvest in services, capabilities, or our people. Bottom line is the bottom line...

Pros

Diverse Client Base. Diverse employee base

Cons

GP basically sells many of the same products and services across different business and repackages them with different titles and names. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings to get nothing done. Leadership loves to communicate in business colloquialisms instead of saying what they mean. GP Employees pay the price for Leadership's poor judgement by being overworked and/or terminated. GP Clients pay the price through Leadership's poor judgement in project and cost overruns. GP Business and Stockholders pays the price in Leadership's poor judgement through declining sales, unsatisfied customers and goals not being met. There is no loyalty to employees especially when outrageous goals are formulated, yet not communicated properly and then implemented with no employee buy-in or participation resulting in unrealistic expectations. When those expectations are not met, Leadership takes no responsibility or ownership and casts the blame downward instead of upward.

Pros

Able to work from home, good benefits

Cons

very poor work/life balance. Resources are overburdened so that the pleasure of working from home is erased by long hours in a stressed environment. PMs carry all the accountability - so if resources fail to meet schedules or under deliver, it is all on the PM - very little management support. The primary concern is pleasing the client. Raises are negligible (1%) and bonuses do not exist.
