Pros

Lots of really great people to work with and friendly culture on the surface.

Cons

Unstructured and don't expect much support (= the backside of' giving a lot of flexibility'). Current services are a means to earn the money to buy new, more innovative companies form outside instead of fostering innovation internally – with all related consequences (e.g. short staffed, outdated tech, lack of investment into structure, marketing, genuine thought leadership etc). Firm has some strengths in some core areas, but hardly any reputation in others which is not helpful when it comes to exaggerated sales objectives.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
