Pros

There was some good and interesting casework.

Cons

Below par pay. Very little work/life balance. Employees not valued. Essentially no career progression available. Awful HR, salary review/appraisal process. Striking "silo" culture, back-biting encouraged, any behaviour goes so long as it makes money. Worst of all, getting worse and worse over the 5 years I was there. Staff now just economic units, not people, and some treated disgracefully.

Pros

They respect work life balance, and are very generous with heads-up during layoffs.

Cons

Basically no promotion opportunities, don't expect to move up a career ladder in IT here.

Pros

Hybrid work option, but that’s it. Would give zero stars if I could.

Cons

Micromanagement on steroids, no work-life balance, taking time off is frowned upon, no cameraderie or office culture whatsoever, not unusual to get emails from senior partners in the middle of the night
