Pros

- Hybrid / flexible working environment (although a push to RTO now) - Generally reasonable culture - Employee networks - Bob seems like a swell guy - Unlimited PTO (if you can make it work)

Cons

Unfortunately, the Firm has completely lost its way and is in danger of shrinking itself to the point it'll get snapped up by a competitor or PE company; - struggling to adopt to changes in the market - massive downsizing underway, new cuts every week - wrong people in senior leadership roles - Over-indexed on DEI - No real investment in R&D, Digital, emerging tech, new service offerings, IT, Cloud etc - Total confusion and failed leadership in 'Divergent Solutions' - Death by billable hour (bill or be fired!) - Way too many layers of approvals required for absolutely anything: there's no real empowerment or delegation
