Pluspunten
It depends on what department you are in, however pros for project management department: - You are involved in a lot of the discussions and decision-making around your department; while input is not always taken, it is at least given a platform to be discussed - You get the ability to build good relationships with your clients and you will be exposed to a lot of clients from different backgrounds, which is great for networking - There is some autonomy over work, although management will sporadically get involved (see cons below) - It is a growing and continually changing company when it comes to using systems, establishing new client relationships, etc. Chances are you will be involved in establishing a new tool, which can be good experience. - You have both your own independent work, as well as collaboration with other departments - Colleagues were very willing to impart knowledge and help each other out
Minpunten
- Management can have a hard time trusting their employees and feel the need to 'micro-manage'. - The company is run by a family, and divided into two main departments, each run by a family member. Unfortunately, the two family members at times do not get along in front of employees, which can be uncomfortable for employees. - In one department, you might not see the partner in charge for months at a time. Other times, he will appear and be overly involved in the department, after not being involved for an extended period of time, which can lead to issues when changes and decisions are made without needed information. - There is a definite ceiling, both for promotion but also for knowledge when it comes to learning more about the industry and tools and gaining mentorship.
