Still Struggling

Associate director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Things have stabilized and new leadership appears solid, but we're still working off years of unaddressed issues. It's not a "well-run company."

Cons

Compensation is probably at or somewhat below average. For non-billable FTEs, there's limited professional development support. It can be a difficult organization to traverse and there aren't clear pathways for advancement.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic work life balance. Great culture and leadership. They also were very supportive of growth and development even if leaving the company.

Cons

Contract sales but it’s not really a con or negative. Lower base than working directly for a larger company.

Remote Workplace contributes to flexibility and work life balance Current Technology - technology tools are provided upon the asking

Silo abundant i.e. outside of your vertical you have no idea who you work with or what they do. Very segmented with no definitive culture.
