Solving unique challenges and problems.
The people you work with are by far the best part of the work. A shared responsibility for tight deadlines, changing expectations from senior leadership/clients, and major changes in process/change management are taken in stride together; despite executive support creating challenges without reward.
satisfaction that my work is appreciated
Challenging work with the empowerment to find the answers to questions in order to best serve our clients and support other teams.
Immediate management is simply draining people. Noone cares about life work balance, it's all about the client.
Within last 4 years I had 6 managers. People get shuffled from account to account or leave. You get no say which account or team you want to work with. No career progression, every year was promised a promotion of course without actual promotion. Pay raises are minimal.
Better ask the visionaries, no one knows what's going on. Someone new is hired at a higher rank and they bring in their friends who in turn make decisions according to what suits them not according to what is good for the company.
The people and middle/mid-senior management are the best I have ever experienced at any company.
Associates are encouraged to make their own way, though sometimes that means a vacuum of information or direction.
Pay equity. Competitive with the contribution to the company, not the industry minimum.
Compensation that is competitive within the industry or at least greater than inflation rate.
