Pros

- Very interesting industry - Fast-paced environment - I honestly can't think of another good thing to say I just need to meet the word requirement

Cons

- Project Managers are responsible for overseeing the life of a project as it makes its way through the production cycle. If one department misses a deadline or messes something up and as a result a clients deadline is missed, the blame is put entirely on the Project Manager, even though that is impossible most of the time. - Division management is useless as all decisions must be approved by upper management which has a do-or-die mentality. - Employees are grossly underpaid (Project Managers averaging $37k, get real) for the amount of work they are responsible for - Competition is encouraged instead of teamwork

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
