Don't be fooled

Pros

offers quite some flexibility in terms of working hours

Cons

very clicky. Promotions are only given to those who are part of the click and know how to play the game. This company will entertain a culture of self doubt, just because they want to keep you at the same level for as long as possible and also on a very low salary compare to the market rate

Pros

Nice benefits and big office located centrally, some helpful interested peers.

Cons

To get ahead or have a promotion, you would literally have to change roles, management is poor and they change the plan every year, their new CEO quit after a couple months on the job which says a lot... There's also a preference for higher management and the directors will have favorites that they will help in detriment to others. Higher management will also steer your career path in such a way that is in line with the 'beliefs' of the company and if you don't buy into them you get the boot. Apparently they also had a few waves of redundancy only in the last year and they work really hard to keep it all under wraps if it's negative. There's all sorts of red flags within a corporation as big as this one, pay attention!

Poor leadership, no clear vision, and no transparency

Pros

Family-like work environment, some very nice people, interesting clients, diversity, good benefits

Cons

Poor communication and no transparency from CEOs about layoffs. They kept saying that we were doing better than we expected, there wouldn't be more pay cuts, and layoffs were not a focus. Just less than a week later, without any signs, they laid off 10 percent of employees. Some offices were severely affected. They charged the clients too low and had to ask the employees to lie on their timesheets to make the projects look profitable. The most affected employees were junior employees who didn't have a lot of projects. Needing to lie about their working hours resulted in extremely low utilization rates and ultimately put them at greater risk of getting laid off. The new managing director of the LA office only cares about the business and has no empathy. Employees play crucial roles in the growth of the business. If you don't care about your employees who have been working so hard for several years, who would want to work hard and be loyal to the company? Very low pay. Only higher-ups get incentives. Career opportunity depends on the team(s) you work for. Some care about your growth. Some don't. Some teams have very poor training. I don't recommend this company until they have a clear vision.
