Pros

High growth due to nature client base expanding and many acquisitions Plenty of jobs and opportunity Company has tried to improve salary base for new hires to be competitive with top talent

Cons

Many new executives who are not experienced in the industry come in and have grand visions that cannot be executed. Highly stressful demands are made on existing staff to meet dates and deadlines which are unrealistic. While they ask for feedback, they don't want to hear anything contradictory to what they want to do. There is a focused effort to acquire many companies quickly to get to a certain client size. Integration plans have yet to be successful, causing strain and significant stress on existing employees (also client satisfaction). There are multiple re-orgs resulting in a highly political environment and lack of trust internally.

Pros

Great colleagues and previously great benefits and remote opportunities. I learned a lot in my role and was able to contribute to the development of my team's processes. A lot of training options including certificate tracks, wellness sessions and financial learning.

Cons

Frequent recurring layoffs, which results in a lot of insecurity and suspicion. Leadership decided to invest in new centers in Atlanta and India, reducing remote options and US-based roles, and offsite gatherings for several hundred employees right before a large, company-wide layoff. Very little opportunity for advancement or promotion.
