Here & there you may get to work on a cool project and there are many factors like good client, budget etc that will produce a good building to put on your resume. There were a few people I enjoy working with, but in general not a great work environment.
Minpunten
There is absolutely no transparency with this company, even at the smaller offices who claim to be like"family" The latter is often used to try to get people to just give a little more of their unpaid overtime, because 60+ hours/week is considered lazy. The idea of work-life balance is non existent with this company and you see eyerolls if you dare to leave at a reasonable time. After the bad feedback received from the employee satisfaction survey last year regarding long hours, exhaustion and low pay the management responded by saying that we should all do it because we are passionate, our profession is not about money. Yes, we know we are not doctors, but if the "Jive" bloggers and other non-reimbursable positions were managed better, maybe there would be more to spread around. Management keeps saying that we need to work smarter, not harder, yet they don't seem to realize that they are making us work harder and not smarter because they can't seem to agree on what color the sky is. A lot of the waste and misorganization comes from the big egos that will do and say anything to make themselves look good and not take responsibility for mismanagement of a pretty good fee, leaving absolutely no money for CA. The latter causing them to say you need to complete your tasks on overtime because that doesn't hurt the project!!!! Such a backwards culture!
