Pros

Being such diverse company with multiple business lines, you get an opportunity to work with different groups to expand your network. There are some great people who are very talented. IBI takes on many large projects—you get lots of learning experience working on those and of course to build an impressive resume.

Cons

There is no real or proper management here. They claim to recognize the long hours the team is pulling and say they’ll make it better, but they do not come up with viable solutions. Over the past few years, everyone has quit or was fired and the last man standing is the management themselves. Micromanagement is making the working environment worse. Many team members have raised concerns to HR and almost every member who quit reported the poor management to HR during their exit interviews. However, after 5+ years of revolving door, NOTHING’s changed. Management is not available for the team when needed during working hours, but will call, email, message you after working hours for “emergency” situations and demands the team to respond within a minute. Management “recognizes” your long hours and tells you not to over work, but will keep assigning you work nonetheless and have you on a standby 24/7. All they truly care about is the number of proposal that gets pushed out every month. They celebrate over X number of proposals that were submitted, and don’t seem to care that there was a price that had to be paid by the team members who had to work 50+ hours almost every week. I could go on forever to explain the lack of proper management for this team and it’s honestly no surprise to anyone on this team or HR. What’s worst is that nothing’s going to change. Leadership and HR are good at one thing here—silencing those who speak up.

Pros

The view, I guess? And the benefits?

Cons

Too much politics, and impotent management team who reward themselves with how much blood they can squeeze out of you.
