Pros

Nice office location Good vacay policy A few genuine people Experience working with large accounts

Cons

Partners oversell projects and have zero accountability so the brunt of the poor planning falls on the project teams. They take advantage of junior designers and researchers and pretty much bank on you not advocating for yourself. There are so many sycophants who skate by doing little to no work because they are “favorites.” If you’re advocating to do high quality work with the client, you’ll likely be doing it on your own as managers are happy to take the easy route 100% of the time. And I don’t know why this company keeps billing itself as a diverse workplace. Yes there are some Black and Brown people who work there but I didn’t see them in management or at the partner level.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
