Pros

Decent salary. Flexible, remote working. DEI initiatives.

Cons

Promotion & pay review processes are non-existing. Quality of line managers is very poor. Patronising seminars about managing burnout while work increases. An excess of energy is poured into the employer brand which ultimately is not backed up by deeds. Extremely lacklustre marketing organisation - full of ineffective incumbents. So much work goes into producing so little. Marketing output feels like warmed up slop. Politics - those who are seen to work well get all the praise. Very poor and contradictory comms around tight budgets and limited promotions - in the next announcement they announce extensive promotions. Layoffs - people get disappeared like in season 4 of the Wire. Comms are that they 'left.' Tight budgets - for an organisation with a turnover of several billion dollars the marketing budget is tiny - in the single millions. Probably because it all goes to paying the salaries of ineffective execs.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
