Pros

Great people to work with in the Finance group. In particular, I really enjoyed working my direct Manager and trusted that he had my back. Management has high expectations, but those are clearly communicated and they want to see you succeed. It's also cool to see how the work we do helps shape the company's decision making and future. They have an employee stock purchase plan that you are eligible for after 1 year. There is also flexibility with a hybrid work schedule and occasional comp days during slower times of the year.

Cons

The amount of content the Finance group produces is constantly increasing and certain times of the year can get fairly stressful. Benefits have gotten much better in recent years, but there is still a 6 month wait to be eligible for the 401k.

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers who are always willing to help and collaborate. Working with a variety of clients provides valuable networking opportunities and exposure to different industries, making it a great place to build professional relationships and expand your experience.

Cons

Leadership has declined significantly compared to previous management. A major concern is the lack of trust shown toward employees, which has led to an environment where people feel micromanaged rather than empowered to do their jobs effectively. Previous leadership encouraged open communication, listened to employee feedback, and fostered a culture of mutual respect and accountability. In contrast, employee concerns and suggestions are often not acknowledged or acted upon, leaving many feeling unheard and undervalued. There is a noticeable lack of meaningful listening and engagement from management, which has contributed to low morale and a growing disconnect between leadership and staff. The overall work environment has become increasingly negative, with a culture that does not consistently promote trust, collaboration, or professional growth. Additionally, there have been instances of inappropriate jokes and comments that create discomfort among employees, further contributing to a workplace culture that can feel unprofessional, unwelcoming, and unsupportive.
