Pros

Great people in lower level positions. Many great analysts, execs and managers which you will get along with on a personal level. You will meet a lot of new people, but it's mostly because the turnover is so high.

Cons

Incompetent Executive Leadership Team who don't care about employees. Senior management pretend to care about employee well being through staff meetings but don't ever engage with lower level staff. Promotions are almost non existent apart from a small pool of staff who continually get promoted because they shout the loudest. Salary increases are laughable and are even worse when you are promoted internally, you'd be better off moving to a different company in that same role. The business also lacks a clear vision as the vision changes on an ongoing basis. Eventually Columbus will be absorbed by Merkle, which hopefully will be to it's benefit.

Pros

Honestly, for junior staff this might give you a really good perception of what a bad working experience you will have as part of your career. I don't have a lot of good things to say. Staff eventually realise they are all in the same sinking boat and you get some good friends for life.

Cons

Favouritism to some ... no appreciation for the real talent of others. Insane long hours, Lack of resources, Lacking staff, No transparency, Dubious KPI choices from top management, No time for training, Countless wasted hours with 'Leadership Panels' Wasted hours in long monthly meetings, Terrible compensation, No Perks, No Bonuses, Unless the top management accepts you in their inner circle, you might have some chances of getting "appointed" for a promotion. Try to join the club and you might raise your chances.
