Pros

The exposure to different industries and learning experience is great. Most of the colleague I worked with were very smart and capable.

Cons

Management wasn't the best. Unless you were a revenue generator, you had a hard time getting promoted and it felt like the managing director was being compensated by not promoting you and keeping costs low unless you brought in revenue. Several colleagues stayed over 4-6 years and either never got promoted, or didn't get promoted like they should have. Raises and bonuses were super subjective and all dependent on the managing director. Bonuses was not inline with production. Promotions was made and bonuses was paid in April.

Pros

Friendly environment and growth-oriented - office dependent. You will learn a lot and be exposed to all industries, which is great. If you are new, they will treat you with respect and try to help you learn; they understand it's a lot.

Cons

Like most companies, they want you to meet your billable hours, which is good. However, the negative here is if the company typically performs worse in the summer or the work starts to slow down for any reason, or you have too many staff competing for work, your billables begin to be negatively affected, which is faulted towards the employees ' performance. You need 150 billable hours a month, regardless of vacation and PTO. Nonbillable hours will not save you from the end goal, which is again, billable hours. Meaning, if you have a meeting, a federal holiday, or an office closure which is non-billable, you will have to make that time up. It's the hard law in this firm.
