Pros

(((Some))) of the people at the bottom ACTUALLY doing the work while also doing the work of management without being credited/recognized are some of the nicest people you will meet. It's a shame they don't have a work-life balance to look for another job.

Cons

99.9% of the upper management. These individuals who are sadly in charge of decision making are so far removed from reality and engulfed in their own self hubris that associations under their management are suffering. For context, they're a European company that purchased an Association Management company. Shortly after, they started bleeding clients. Their solution was to ignore the problem, fire the people who raised concerns and replace them with their "Friends" to put it mildly. They've become an echo chamber of yes-men. Lack diversity, no advancement opportunities and no future for the US location.

Pros

This company won't be around much longer. They are losing employees and clients faster than they could ever replace them. They have a nice location now down by the White House.

Cons

In the past year this company has lost the Director of Finance, Director of Meetings, Director of HR, many talented and bright employees, and many key clients. The European ownership of this company can barely hide their dislike of American Professional culture and don't hide their dislike of how dominant women are in the Interel US office. Interel's leadership has one woman, who is more capable than all the men combined. It's ironic that the company markets itself as a Public Affairs firm because the "affairs" that go on at this company aren't so public. The Managing Partners in the US office are both known for their inappropriate behavior and for rewarding bad/good behavior, depending on your viewpoint. Both MP's have a history of dalliances with women in the office.
