Pros

Good health plan and benefits.

Cons

Expect to work extra. Billability requirements are ridiculous. If you want to take ur PTO plan on working extra or you won’t get a raise. No accountability for bad project managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good initiatives are looked into Great for Graduate development

Cons

- Good initiative are never funded. - 'Transformation' is a reshuffle of the top people only - the culture has become even more toxic than before. - No one takes accountability beyond P&L. - Poor salary & general remuneration compared to market - The only focus on wellbeing is to hold webinars with external speakers (which must cost a bomb, rather than look at tangible initiatives to support people) - Overtime is never recognised/rewarded but is expected. You're a poor performing employee if you only do your contracted hours. - The Executive Leadership Team are never, ever seen.
