Pros

Amazing people who want each other to succeed. No travel! Great WLB. Can try out new industries/verticals.

Cons

Too nice - below average performers are allowed to stick around or even get promoted. There is a culture where conflict is avoided at all costs, constructive feedback is rare to avoid hurting anyones feelings. Local model creates unfair challenges to new markets as promotions are based on standard corporate metrics - easy to hit in mature markets, almost impossible in new markets. Immature training programs with an overemphasis on technology. People from industry are not given consulting training, especially presentation, communication skills and business foundations. Pay does not keep up with competitors, is a hard company to stay at for multiple years as pay increases lag inflation. Decentralized industry knowledge, experts and content, makes it impossible to compete with B4

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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
