Pros
A big name on your resume, I'll give it that. But don't expect to change the world here. Just know what you're signing up for.
Cons
Honestly, it's an events company with a fancy logo. A lot of the big "initiatives" are just whatever the top brass is personally into that quarter. At one point the Founder was obsessed with the metaverse, so we threw money at that. Then suddenly it was space, and everyone had to scramble to find "synergies" with the space team—like we're going to out-innovate NASA. A lot of projects exist because someone high up thinks they're cool, not because they make strategic sense. They talk a lot about "service" and "hospitality" as core values. What that really means is: you're there to serve them and their VIP guests. You'll spend a shocking amount of time organizing lunch events, receptions, and private dinners for leadership. It feels less like meaningful work and more like we're event planners for the C-suite. "Strategic engagement" with stakeholders? Not really. Your main job is to call or email people and ask if they want to come to Davos or some other events. That's the relationship. There's not much depth beyond that. At the end of the day, what they really need is warm bodies to handle logistics and make sure everything runs smoothly. If you're looking to do real policy work or strategic thinking, this probably isn't the place.
