Pros

As it is still considered a small to medium sized company you are able to learn a lot by wearing a lot of different hats. The work and environment is very dynamic. Executive Management has begun to host quarterly online webcasts to communicate to the sales force. Great product and technology. Customers are satisfied.

Cons

Doesn't support continued professional education. Additionally, it would help immensely to have more communication interdepartmentally. International communication could also improve. Not enough training. The company should match more on the 401K. Also the CEO has a lot of power to the point where it's micromanaging.

Pros

good benefits travel job- if you love to travel

Cons

worst management ever( no respect for the consultants, many examples of very poor management: 1. Consulting head ridiculed a consultant on mic in front of a consultants gathering in vegas. 2. Sr. managers have no clue on many things regarding the workings of the company 3. You hardly have any say in your quaterly reviews. Managers will write comments on your review and you have no way to comment on that. Only option is to acknowledge or else you don't get the petty bonus you made. 4. Bonus structure is designed in a way that you hardly make only 5 -10% of you bonus . 5. No 360 degree reviews you basically have zero say and have to agree to your managers. 6. No credit for extra effort you put in on weekends or after office hours. 7. Zero skill development for the consultants. You are expected to know everything right at the beginning. This is funny because when they hire HR says you are not expected to know everything.

Pros

The company provides good benefit. Work with different people from different countries. Interesting product structure. Good place to start career.

Cons

This place can be good place to work if you have a good manager. Unfortunately I worked for a very bad manager who yelled at our team all the time. Our team's turnover rate is super high.
