Pros

If you stay for a decade they'll give you $1000? For the most part they do respect the work-life balance, unless deadlines get in the way.

Cons

Extremely technology adverse compared to other companies. Operates on the old boy network with the if you're not with us, you're against us mentality - causes the first con. Growth is by acquisitions only - turn over is extremely high compared to competing firms I've worked for. The managers are not self performing and quickly become disconnected with what it takes to actually get anything accomplished. Many dictators and no real leaders - the blame game is played daily. This company regularly hires young guys b/c they cannot hold onto anyone once they have other alternatives. Any young person should avoid this company if at all possible - things may be better for a senior level person but young guys are not treated well here. Ultimately there are better jobs out there - don't let them try to pressure you into accepting an offer on their timeline.

Pros

This company has a great culture. They have managed to achieve a family feel despite being spread across 60 office locations, which is no easy task!

Cons

None that I can think of
