Pros

- As a company they do a lot of good in the community - DEI Commitment

Cons

- Their performance review system is GARBAGE. If there's something you need to work on, they'll mention it in passing but never follow-up or check in on it. - They take what the client says as bible and don't give employees grace or opportunity to improve skill sets or trainings. - They talk a lot about mental health, work/life balance, and employee wellness but don't act on it. If you need to leave early one day they WILL hold it against you in some way or another. - Directors DO NOT know how to manage teams and DO NOT advocate for you in your personal development. Directors are COMPLETELY oblivious what goes on in your day to day and don't care if you're stressed, overwhelmed. There's nothing they will do about it because they have no backbone when it comes to the clients and protecting their employees from getting overworked. - The recent company reorg laid off many mid-senior level employees while promoting director level positions. Ya'll think we don't notice?? - You have to advocate for yourself because no one else will. Want a raise? Good luck!

Pros

You'll work with some incredible teammates, but that's about it. Thesis was once a place that felt full of opportunity and collaboration, but it's become a place where leadership's lack of vision and planning, paired with their inability to trust teams or secure new accounts, has and will destroy anything that works in the company. Leadership has created a top heavy structure that cannot last. Their is a massive talent retention problem traces back to leadership, and the constant passing of the buck at the top has made what was once a fun and exciting place into a shell of what it promised to be. The bosses are never to blame. They say it's the great resignation, or the economy, or quiet quitting, or some other convenient buzzword that allows them to ignore the many actions they are responsible for that led to over 150 people leaving the company in 2021 alone. The amount of friends and great coworkers I met there is high, but the daily stress that leadership's actions will inflict on you is not worth it.

Cons

Upward mobility is near impossible. Nepotism rules most promotions and hires. New rolls are given to outside hires instead of rewarding the talent that's already at the company. Leadership will ignore the warnings, requests, and other input of teams actively working with clients and, if things go wrong after these warnings, they will throw the team under the bus and take no responsibility. Extremely toxic interactions with most bosses. Passive aggressive messages, inappropriate after hours calls, or just ignoring people seem to be the main management styles.
