Great culture, poor pay + benefits

Pros

Collaborative culture, managers are engaged, company cares about employee satisfaction

Cons

Benefits and pay are terrible. Healthcare is expensive and not great, and other offered benefits like educational reimbursements sound great until you actually try to use them, when multiple hurdles are thrown your way. Promotion planning is also biased, with remote workers / people in satellite offices constantly getting dinged for visibility and presence, though it clearly doesn't affect ability to do well (client offered to hire me for excellent work at the same time that I received a "meets expectations" from Nielsen - what a joke). Diversity is also given lip service, but senior management all looks quite monolithic.

Pros

You get to work with incredibly smart, hardworking people and learn a lot.

Cons

This is a true corporation. Lots of layers of management, and decisions on your promotion/bonuses come from someone you rarely interact with. Pay is barely competitive, especially when it comes to how hard you will work. You’re not really in control of your career growth unless you want to move to a new client - at the mercy of the client contract and how much your manager supports you. Technology is behind and the company as a whole is experiencing major disruption. Time tracking, pointless check ins and assessments will be part of your life.
