Pros

-Competitive Salary -Good people -Great benefits, health, dental, vision -Lot's of PTO, even though it's probably too much to take - training opportunities

Cons

-Beware of downturns in economy, they can lead to, and have led to massive unilateral layoffs with seemingly no regard to utilization rates. -Some groups are very top heavy so can be difficult when you are an entry level to learn. You don't always want to ask an MD simple questions, but you have to. -When you think to yourself, "Is my job safe? Because I'm not as busy as I thought I would be"--it's not. - Work life balance can be challenging, even if you're not traveling there are times when you're basically "on call" until X:00 at night. -Be sure your SMD is a GREAT seller of projects, takes care of his/her people, and is competent in the field (in that order).

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
