Pros

I have a shrinking number of very intelligent and kind coworkers on my team, but they are the only bright spot here.

Cons

Benefits and wages are below industry standard. You accrue a meager amount of PTO, very few holidays, pay more for health insurance, and the promotion process keeps being made less and less appealing. You will not get a raise that keeps up with inflation, you will not get the kind of projects you ask for to round out your skills, you will not get leadership that helps you grow or feel satisfied in your work. What you will get is staff-aug work on whatever project they can manage to sell anymore. It's probably going to be GenAI-related, whether it makes sense or not. "People-first" and "fiercely-human" are for marketing only, as they had their first serious layoffs in 2023 and are definitely still doing them right now in 2024 but just not to the amount that's legally required to be reported. Their relationship with their workforce didn't survive a single change in interest rates. They're very much culling everyone who hasn't met sales targets or isn't a true-believer. They're also pushing RTO with embarrassingly-weak justifications. In a more merciful job market they'd be bleeding a lot more talent than they already are.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
