Has anyone been to the IFS “Leadership Milestone Experience”? How is it? Worth attending?

What level were you who went to this?

Yes. I enjoyed it.

Yes, it’s worth it — fun and a good opportunity to meet people from other teams/functions. Why wouldn’t you go? It’s a paid trip to Disney

Good to know, thanks. I would have to juggle some personal priorities in order to attend the next one in October, so asking to make sure it’s worth it :)

I went last year. Like most firm milestone programs, they are largely meant to be an offsite experience at a fun place, with some "Learn more about the firm" thrown in. It was fun - they had escape room type stuff and a good mix of fun stuff. On the practical side - they had a photo booth for getting professional shots taken.

Thanks! Good to know

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?

Yesterday only during their press meet they told that they have honored all the offer letters last quarter...and today itself you can see so many delaying and postponing of joining cases in this group only....there must be something very wrong or messed up.

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA.
