Pros

* Small teams, direct line to senior management * Thorough training offered (in the past, going through re-org so chaotic now) * Ability to focus on report writing and formulating insights, position is split with Project managers who take care of the field and tab services, so client managers can focus on client deliverables (in the past, going through re-org so chaotic now)

Cons

*Most managers are lacking. When you finally get someone decent, they jump ship * No such thing as work life balance, serious slave culture (industry wide) and no overtime pay *Lack of diversity, 100% of management team is now white. There was some diversity in the past, but with recent re-org they changed that and brought in only White team members, I head of this in the USA offices but I did not expect this to happen in Canada too *New CEO is out of touch with reality and causing unnecessary hardship for staff, management does not stand up to him and expects staff to blindly follow

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
