Pros
Pros – Competitive base, average benefit package, bonus payouts were above-average, but no longer the case. Great cafeteria, gym and onsite medical center. Colleagues at the VP level and below are great to work with, generally helpful, and willing to provide support on projects.
Cons
Cons - Direct managers - Executive Directors – only focus on promoting themselves (#1 compliant from employees). Time and time again, I’ve been asked to lead and implement projects, but when it coms to exposure, EDs take their teams work and present as their own. ED lack basic management skills, nowhere close to being “leaders”, immature, and lack any ability to be influential. Absolutely, no investment in training, or professional development. Training consists of either – 1) a managing director presenting on a topic for one hour, and that’s it, or 2) VPs training other VPs or juniors team members during a lunch and learn session. Year-end reviews are a joke…my last 3 reviews have lasted a total of 20 minutes.
