Pros

The small office I worked in had dedicated employees who I enjoyed working with.

Cons

The company pays lip service to actually providing adequate technical support to help balance the workload of the remaining technical staff. This is a result of treating employees like they can be easily replaced, inadequate salaries, poor morale, and an extreme focus on the bottom line. I wouldn't call it "cleaning house", so much as quality people found other opportunities where their skill sets are appreciated. The bottom line is important to focus on, but it seemed like management needed to squeeze even more production out of employees to meet the expanding overhead and losses in other business lines. If you are looking for a job, please look elsewhere. I hung on longer than I should have hoping things would turn around. It was always a good story about how things were going to be different, changes were being implemented, but in the end nothing changed for the better.

Pros

The company's mission it to creative positive impact and value, and they deliver on that both externally and internally. Working on projects that support responsible growth and development and advance the UN SDGs means that we can all take pride in our daily contributions. And, with remote work options and an open forum for career development, the company is invested in creating a positive impact in the team's lives. Despite having employees across many time zones, there are opportunities to connect virtually for "water cooler" time.

Cons

The US and larger global organization cover a wide range of brands, products, and service offerings, so it can be challenging to keep up with what other teams are working on as we get busy on individual projects. Learn Over Lunches and internal newsletters help to bridge those gaps.

Pros

Positive environment. I feel like I’m part of a team even though everyone is virtual. I appreciate the autonomy and responsibility given to me and that there is support when needed. Lots of highly trained experts in their fields to parter with and all are friendly; however’ it can be hard to schedule time with them. Management does a great job checking in with team members.

Cons

Deadlines are tight and expectations are high. Benefits are not extensive. Sometimes project directors are too deferential to clients.
