Pros

I really enjoy working with smart people and a lot of them work here. The company is very healthy, with strong revenue growth and a great pipeline of opportunity for years to come Lot of potential to learn great skills Great benefits Industry leading products

Cons

Awkward social skills/poor communication capabilities permeate the team, especially the leadership. If the leader of this team could clone himself over hiring others, he would every time. This is because he only values what he knows and has little capacity for flexibility/creativity. He loves to quote great scientific minds like Einstein, but he does not exhibit the amazing creative skills of many of those great thinkers. His first thought whenever he meets someone is if they come from McKinsey, they are smart, and if they didnt, they are an idiot until proven otherwise. Its very clear that he thinks this way to everyone. While the man has an exceptionally high IQ, the team is run in an increasingly narrow minded manner and is becoming an atmosphere where people only speak when they think they are saying something he already knows and agrees with. This can grow exhausting. Worse yet, he actually thinks this is a plus and cannot see the incredible missed opportunities due to "like think" that permeate the team.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
