Pros

Compensation and benefits are generally good, as you'd expect from a large global organisation.

Cons

Culture The culture is toxic. It comes from the top down, despite C-suite leaders making all the right noises in company town halls. That culture permeates to senior leader level and then down into head of department level. Focus at C-suite is on the scores of the 'anonymous' employee survey, with senior leaders pushing their teams to improve scores. Feedback is never acted on, and panic sets in at the end of every quarter if the scores haven't improved. Leadership In the department I worked in, it got worse. Pressure to deliver for clients (the business is struggling) resulted in every decision being scrutinised and questioned. When things got tough, instead of pulling together, the result was finger-pointing and throwing colleagues under the bus. The head of our department wasn't equipped to deal sufficiently with these problems, and spent most of her time trying to advance her own career instead of caring about those who were looking to her for leadership. HR do nothing. If you value your own well-being, don't apply for a role here.

Pros

Supportive manager. Collegial culture among the immediate team. Autonomy for setting one's own schedule and for coaching content and methods. Lots of mostly good supporting content. Monthly continuing education offerings. Peer-to-peer support and sharing via Google collaboration platform. The satisfaction of making a positive difference in client's (participant's) job search, i.e. fulfilling work.

Cons

1) Quality issues with the offshore job opportunity selection team and (less often) resume writers. As an outplacement coach we needed to stand behind the work of others that we didn't have close relationships with given the number of different team members on those teams and the business model. For two years the issues with offshore were raised to management but nothing improved--the bad quality was an accepted reality. 2) The business model is based on high-volume coaching that at times kept the coaching transactional and surface-level. Business success is based on minimizing coaching hours and resume writing hours per client. Can feel like a factory at times. 3) Chasing after disengaged clients. My guess is that a significant percentage of clients weren't fully bought into the coaching process because they weren't paying out of their own pocket rather their former employer was paying for service. But also had some super clients to work with that were very engaged. A mixed bag.
