Pros

Colleagues are fantastic, motivated, interesting and helpful. Journals can be interesting and the level of ownerhsip you are given is high Lots of training offered

Cons

The pay is not worth the pros and employees have no control over advocating for pay. HR don't consider COL or inflation - they just pick a number at the median of the industry and that's that. There is no relation to performance, individually or departmentally.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
