Pros

Through their rigorous hiring processes, they've netted some of the best people I've ever worked with. The work was generally engaging.

Cons

Glad I hopped off this boat when I had the chance...I was totally fooled by the flashiness of the supposed culture and exciting opportunities to grow in my career and talents, but received zero assistance from management and leadership in growing my career. Left disappointed. Since then, I've heard the emphasis on killing yourself from the time you wake up until the time you (eventually) sleep at night is worse; they're forcing their hardest workers to take less time off, not through actual rules or defined parameters, but through coercion and manipulation. They're hemorrhaging their best employees because of poor management. Leadership (mostly C-level) is so far removed from what it's like to contribute, they see their employees as resources to be used up and replaced once they burn out. If ever a place with toxic, unspoken rules and culture existed, it would be this one...from the top, down. It's clear in the catty replies to other negative reviews on this very page. "This is a place for people who LIKE to work." There's a difference between some good hard work and occasional late hours and repeatedly understaffing and underpaying for what you expect of your people. This is a process, leadership and culture problem...not a people problem.

Pros

In its prime, Revive was (and elements continue to be) a shining example of how to foster deep connections, bolster bold ideas rooted in industry expertise, and bring them to fruition. A shining example of how to rally clients and internal team members to drive true change.

Cons

Symptoms of a competitive market, private equity, and change in the tides.

Pros

One role, focus just on that

Cons

Role is a lot for one person, pay is the worst I’ve ever seen
