Pros

Kind to the employees. Friendly working environment. Allows to work from home.

Cons

Different region has different cultures. In Asia, it’s a little bit hierarchy. Instead of thinking for and providing service to the clients, most of time you have to act as told and instructed by Senior manager. Spent tons of time making report only for them to present and report to their manager.

Pros

Highest 401K match compared to competitors Some really great people at the operational level (below director roles). These are the people who enabled me to stay for as long as I did.

Cons

C-Level either chooses to ignore or has no clue how uncollaborative cross functional teams can be. It was a challenge to make any forward progress for agility and improvement, however there were questions almost daily on how the bottom line would be improved. Technology and automation for basic day to day project management is almost non-existent with no clear plan on how this would be addressed long term. My direct manager micromanaged every detail, to the point I could no longer make any decision pertaining to one of the company’s largest accounts. Hands down the worst manager I’ve had in my entire career. During my tenure, my manager never once spoke to me about growth or development and never provided feedback on my performance. I was thrown under the metaphorical bus several times by a few different people in their attempt to make themselves look good.
