Pros

Competitive 401k match, immediately vested

Cons

White British boys club in North America. If you’re not that you’re going nowhere fast. Even those who are it’s a toss up. Slow to promote the ones bringing repeat clients/fee. Only way to get market pay / title is to be hired in when they are desperate then drink lots of beer with ‘leadership’ at the nearby dingy Irish pub. Below market pay. High turnover. Zero training for line management and it shows. Does not invest in American staff at all. Limited to no resources to do the job. It’s a running joke how few if any have a functioning laptop. No IT. No bid team. No standards except inapplicable UK centric. Every line of support quits faster than they can be replaced. Miracle they have any clients left. Multiple exodus of leadership over the years has left what remains a hollow shell of a company. A handful of die hards remain who couldn’t hold the same job elsewhere due to a mix of unprofessionalism and or incompetence. Revolving door for qualified decent staff, white men looking for easy visas in Nyc and fresh grads who don’t know any better. UK treats NA arm as a cash cow. Constantly seeking out new lines of business via expensive new director level hires who fail to bring said work while ignoring the projects and people they already have. Unsustainable short term business planning.

Pros

Direct collaboration with global teams and exposure to high-level projects.

Cons

Unsupportive environment: The workplace culture suffers from micromanagement, passive-aggressive communication, and a clear lack of integrity from recently appointed management. Leadership Favoritism: Senior leadership tends to favor newly hired managers, failing to provide equal treatment, fair evaluation, or direct open channels of communication to the rest of the team.
