Pros

There are still good people left who are passionate in what they do. Generally more flexibility to work from home and other offices than other companies. 401K matching in generous.

Cons

Leadership buries their head in the sand about how unhappy junior staff are. Pressure to win work steadily increasing on mid-level staff. Leadership seemingly is not held accountable. Layoff sting to teams still evident years later. Recruiting is slow. Mid-level staff are overworked by leadership and undersupported by junior staff who aren’t adequately trained or invested in. Health care options are abysmal. Profit-sharing has been consistently described as being an important part of compensation and has been recently been seriously underdelivering. Focus has shifted from a place that felt like it was investing in staff’s well-being and growth to only the bottom line.

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
