Pros

- close to downtown core

Cons

- Expect to sacrifice your social life, no life at all - Senior management are full of workaholics - DO NOT WORK HERE unless you are desperately looking for a job - You will get crapped on every single day - No appreciation or recognition, only negative feedback - No promotion especially if the management cant talk to you about restaurants and wine - this company's a joke

Pros

- Opportunity to work with executives at big companies across a wide range of industries - The projects run through all phases of a brand transition so you have the chance to develop different skills (e.g. budget planning, financial analysis, project planning) - Many opportunities to present in front of client senior leadership - Good chance to learn about various aspects of a business as a company's brand touches almost everything (e.g. marketing, product development, IT, signage). - Great for networking - BrandActive is a small company so you get to know your coworkers and senior leadership very well. - A lot of room for growth for less experienced employees (e.g. you could start as an associate and work your way up to senior manager or higher).

Cons

- The hours can sometimes be unpredictable due to client demands but this is typical at any consulting firm and BA leadership does a good job of trying to add more resources to a project when needed and also letting it be somewhat cyclical (e.g. sometimes you will have a very busy client for a period of time but then you may have a less busy client after that - BA didn't require a utilization rate/hourly billable requirements on employees which other firms I've worked at enforce and can create near constant workflow/stress). - Most of the projects are brand focused, and while there is still a lot of variety in that, there are some consultants that may prefer the chance to have engagements that go beyond that topic area.

Pros

Colleagues are nice and remote working is a plus.

Cons

Senior leadership team is a small exclusive, inexperienced group of narcissist who allow women to be treated terribly.
