Pros

Good pay when you hit your # Practice SMEs are great to work with Interesting work if you like your practice area

Cons

Sales culture is insulated, with out of touch old school VPs with elitist mindsets driving a big fear based culture - the VPs compete so hard against each other because of their egos and fear that the teams and clients suffer. Major sales and sales management burnout happening. No understanding of time in territory benefits long term-territories became musical chairs even for large accounts - Something happened culturally in 2024 and it’s been downhill for sales from there…also let’s face it, the CEO needs to go.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
