Pros

The aesthetic The snacks The company on paper.

Cons

They have hired way too many people at once and are not able to focus on them all and giving them the proper on-boarding process to be successful. They are tremendously out of touch with their talent. I was being trained and I asked for feedback as critique so I can improve, but she told me she was too busy to help me help the company improve as a brand new hire and left me to fend for myself. Operations team seems stressed, under pressure, and it rubs off on people poorly by creating a hostile, toxic and unwelcoming environment. My environment was filled with bad attitudes and vulgar, offensive, unprofessional language on a daily to the point of feeling extreme discomfort. The company defiantly does NOT live up with its core values and the greatly displayed culture is not false.Through my experience here, I have dealt with miscommunication and lack of communication. I was hired on as talent here, but I do not possess the talent to read someone’s mind. This company reads great on paper, the building looks great on the inside, but once add and keep the toxic employees, it is a nightmare.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
