Pros

If you are desperate for a short turn gig between gigs Prag will do.

Cons

The former CBDO once described it as "being an OX in the rice paddy - the farmer will work you until you die in place and then he will buy a new Ox, giving no thought the loyal service and suffering expended on their behalf." If you an an exempt employee at HQ the Leaders have no respect your personal time. You are expected to give up evenings and weekends on a regular basis. Once I received a text at 0800 on Christmas Day - demanding information on an opportunity. There is no honesty with regard to how programs are managed or performance. The GMs and Project leads lie their buns off to the Owners and senior leaders to save their jobs. The QA claims they make are a joke. The business development team has no meaningful past performance with which to work. The pace and job stress is so intense that you do not realize that you are in a Dystopian nightmare, until you have been out more than 30 days. Then you look back and wonder why you stayed so long.

Everything you DO NOT want in a company

Pros

OK benefits, available training, good location

Cons

Low pay, long hours, leadership micromanages, horrible in-house equipment (computers, & projectors), leadership does not implement procedures that cost people hours of work time, more often than not there is a HUGE disconnect between departments which causes mayhem, leadership are good at "their" jobs but do not know how to train employees, leadership increases goals, but does not compensate or hire more employees to effectively win these goals, leadership does not spend money on things that matter and they seem to nickel and dime everyone, there is an overall disconnect between all employees and it creates an unhealthy work environment, there are plenty of people that work there that are more interested in ruining careers than fostering relationships, not enough resources for goals instead you are expected to suck it up and have no work life balance, good employees are far and few inbetween, everyone else seems to hate their jobs as much as the rest.

Honesty is NOT our policy

Pros

The group that was there when joined was very proactive, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Benefits were above the norm and salary although a little low was about the same as other firms in the area. Good company for a Jr. person to start with then move on.

Cons

As the title says honesty at the owner level is not their strong suit. Several encounters with the CEO, CFO (in reality not the titled CFO), and COO were less than honest. They would tell you one thing then behind your back do just the opposite. Leaving you in a compromised position with potential or current clients. Very little support for progress or vision unless there was immediate PROFIT involved yet 10s of millions in cash assets to invest in their own company. The next level down i.e. VPs and senior personnel attempted to compensate but got burned out cleaning up the mess or left.

I am sorry that you feel that you were not treated honestly. It is unclear as to what commitments you feel were not honored, what encounters with me you may have had, or the circumstance surrounding those events. While we do not claim to be perfect, the executive team, including myself all work diligently to be candid in all our dealings, stand by all commitments, and earn the respect of our employees and customers every day.
