Pros

Great work from home balance, great team, great direct manager.

Cons

There pay structure doesn’t make sense. They do not value current employees and only offer promotions and pay raises if you say you’re leaving. People with little experience are offered title/pay bumps while experienced personnel in that role are paid less and not offered same opportunities. Also has corporate red tape on many processes that are out of date.

Pros

Challenging work/Friendly coworkers/Decent Benefits (Health/401k Match)

Cons

Bonuses are effected by the performance of other departments that are entirely unrelated to your work. You could go above and beyond and exceed all expectations individually, however they will still pay you a fraction of your bonus due to performance of other departments that are unrelated to the work you do as a practice, and especially as an individual. Salary increases are an absolute joke and are often less than inflation. Because of this you will actually most likely lose money every year instead of receiving a decent raise for your hard work. This is all while the CEO makes upwards of 35+ million every year. Unjustifiable. They stopped all raises, bonuses, and 401k matching in 2020 due to Covid, meanwhile their stock price rebounded to pre-Covid numbers by August 2020, and the CEO took home 26 million that year. They don't care about you here - you are merely a number. They won't offer you what you're worth until you put in your two-weeks notice, then they will make a last ditch effort to keep you by showing you the money they could have paid all along. Every single talented and knowledgeable consultant that I worked with has left this company and found another company that was willing to pay them market rates for their expertise. If you want to be paid what you're worth and be incentivized to work hard, this is not the place to do it.

Pros

The only thing I can say is I worked with nice people.

Cons

My job was absorbed into another department. I had the choice to stay with my old apartment or go with my new department. If I stayed with my old department, the job I would be doing wasn’t a job I enjoyed doing and if I went with my new department it would be a job I was trained to do and enjoyed doing. The new department was awful and it drove me to the point of almost a nervous break down. I sought medical care for stress and anxiety and was immediately told by my dr. based on my medical history, I needed to take time to bring down my anxiety. I went out on disability in June. Months before I was put on disability, I was looking to change jobs and had interviewed at numerous places and I received an offer while I was out recuperating. All of my doctors suggested that a job change was the most prudent course of action to help my condition, so I handed in my resignation before the end of the month. Now they are not paying me for the month I was out on disability even though I have submitted multiple doctor’s evidence to prove the detriment the stress caused and the need to be out. This was the thanks I got for being an above average performer for over 10 years. Everyone I know is so stressed and miserable. They preach “self care” but don’t practice it. If you like killing yourself for a job this is the place for you. However, don’t get sick or you won’t see any money.
