Interesting work , nice people, average pay

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are generally worldly and interesting. You get a chance to solve genuinely interesting problems all over the world. If you are a regional specialist or globally minded you will thrive. There are parts of the business under exceptional leadership. Some parts needs serious strategic thinking applied to avoid self sabotage.

Cons

The pay is average and company needs to boost revenue to pay people more. As with any partnership there can be some who prioritise personal ambition over actually growing the business across service lines. Building little kingdoms doesn’t boost pay or bonuses.

Don't Support Their Employees

Project coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay alright and their benefits are fine

Cons

They provide no support. Consistently say to reach out to your embedded firm which then directs you back to control risks. They encouraged me to pursue further education, saying they would help financially. Then, when I went to ask for reimbursement, they stalled saying they were "re-evaluating" their education benefits, until they laid me off.
