Pros

-Pay and Benefits are market setters and are way ahead of my previous firm -Tons of smart people there and the company has a great market reputation -Depending on your office, leadership works to have a lot of office events and foster a close atmosphere, In the smaller offices this is really effective

Cons

-Work-Life balance is just not a concern and is blown out of the water on nearly every project, red-zone reports are generated but no-one really pays attention -Culture is VERY young, so you are almost always working for people who are smart, high-achievers with no real leadership experience and, often, very low empathy. This attitude tends to apply to both team and client relations. -As a consultant and below, you're not encouraged to do anything but project work, limiting your ability to build a network outside of your project team, if on a small team or a bad project then you're going to be in a bad way very quickly. -Immense up or out pressure(especially on Project Leaders) leads to an atmosphere of extreme competition and there is a lot of back-stabbing and throwing under the bus.

Pros

Good work environment, good people to work for. Salary was okay, benefits were good, the office environment was almost always pleasant. Didn't experience any bad office politics or workplace drama while I was there.

Cons

There is no career movement possible for admin. The only way to grow is to leave.
