Pros

The holiday allowance is decent

Cons

It’s cliche that management think pizza lunches and a limited bar budget can make up for limited promotions (no budget), no morale and no culture (but there is the “cool” office to make up for it). Oh and mandatory attendance in an office that doesn’t have enough desks to accommodate staff so.

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
