Pros

One a year annual company trip

Cons

Struggle to find projects, and very predatory with clients. Lots of problems with the work environment and disrespectful behavior. Then laid off half the NYC office with barely any severance pay.

Thank you for your feedback regarding Gate One USA. Great to see that you enjoyed the Annual Gateaway. Unfortunately you were with us during a period of very challenging business performance in the US which meant that lay-offs were necessary - we are sorry you experienced that. Since 2024 our Gate One US team has been profitable and beating plan month-on-month, we're winning interesting new client work and significantly growing the team again - thanks to the hard work of everyone in the US and those in our other locations supporting US growth.

Pros

- Ability to be entrepreneurial - Some great coworkers - Core offerings are interesting - Enthusiastic coworkers - Fun office environment - New head of firm is a solid, more inclusive human - so could get better!

Cons

- Commission model related to selling work fosters competitiveness, not always in a nice way - Expectations not in line with macroeconomic conditions - Firm didn't do full due diligence on US market before entering it - Layoffs packages are well below industry standard - Much of leadership is immature, some PDLs toxic - Not as transparent as other US workplaces - Weak support for US. First US partner a poor leader (now gone)
