Pros

Decent pay, good projects, great junior staff, generally nice offices, flexible working conditions, diverse client base, giant global multidisciplinary beast.

Cons

Welcome to 1984! Doublespeak galore. Horrible bullying management. Very low technical capability despite their claims. Only concern is high staff utilisation at any cost which drives very bad behaviours. Worst company I ever worked for.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
