Pros

Good brand on resume, central location in downtown Toronto, good events put on ever so often.

Cons

Everyone backstabs everyone else, while nice people are eaten alive. Hours are absolutely insane, and the pay is not great to start with. Performance reviews are pointless because the ratings are decided behind closed doors by management before a discussion even starts to take place with the employee, so how is that fair or 360. All initiatives are recycled every few years, and are a waste of time.

Pros

Large company with lots of opportunities Great company to start your carrier Decent life balance

Cons

They say it's about developing yourself, service to clients etc. The pillars are: 'Market', 'People' en 'knowledge' But in real life it's all about billable hours. Do others things but hours are the main reason to succeed

Pros

Learn the profession; interesting work, but not a lot of variety. Great junior people; eager to learn and willing to lend a hand. A few terrific senior partners; too bad I didn't work for them. Looks great on a resume when you go for the next job. I learned all I could about the particular area I worked in spite of the overwhelmingly bad management. Most of the people I worked with are long gone.

Cons

I was treated like second class scum by my senior manager, who did nothing to help me advance my career. When asking a question to expand my knowledge and improve my performance I was called "stupid," I was derided for not already knowing the answer, and was told to "go look it up in a book and when you have the answer then come tell me." I had another direct female manager who came in late every morning, obviously hungover, slopping coffee all over herself, and would come to me and say "[my name] I'm not going to take this crap from you anymore" and other such pleasant greetings in front of all my co-workers. Never was I complimented on my work product or how hard I worked. Yet, when I finally left the company, there were 17 people at my going away luncheon, including several senior partners. But of course, the person who I had slaved for for over 7 years had a convenient excuse not to show up.
