Good pay Good team at the individual contributor level- used to be a fantastic place to work until recent changes

Cons

-No work life balance (people miss out on kids activities and/ or doctors visits) -Senior Leadership does not care about the Individual contributors- makes decisions that effect them without consulting teams (Senior leadership has no HR or Recruiting experience and is clear they do not care about the people) - If you enjoy working your life away and never seeing your family, this is the perfect place for you -Very old school culture and agency recruiting culture
