Business Outlook

Pros

A stepping stone and offers nothing more. Write it down on your resume and run away.

Cons

- No career advancement, employees are only here to satisfy sponsors with the awful motto of "customer obsession". - Management is proud of having a global team but they could not care less about the individuals forming this team. - Way too much favoritism and gossip going on between managers and this is very apparent. - Performance doesn't matter, your destiny is in the hands of your line manager. You can do nothing and still get promoted if you have a good one or you can work day and night only to get nothing with a bad one and their excuse will be absolutely "no budget". - Merit increase is a joke. They would pass a great performance and give you 1.5% and say "Oh sorry, no budget but keep working to satisfy our customers' weird requests".

Pros

Salary was acceptable for some time

Cons

Inflated their finances with fake projects that never hit or made fake meetings with people for projects that were not real Saw unacceptable business ethics when it came to deliverables (reusing reports, manipulating data, not letting us bill true hours) Pitching capabilities that the company didn't have like sound data analytics Fostered a culture of stealing IP from other teams Lack of team culture (i.e., frequent days off during 12-week projects, general unpreparedness to lead, complete misalignment of priorities at a project and group level). Withholding deliverables from clients (models or explanatory materials supporting recommendations)
