Pros
Great clients and lots of opportunity for young staff to grow in their career. Had the opportunity to lead small teams early in my career and grow into larger leadership roles working on mid-to-large projects for high profile clients. Very friendly staff with genuinely kind leaders in the Seattle office and across the firm. Very good benefits with unlimited PTO and flexible for people with families.
Cons
Requires a very proactive, entrepreneurial individual to seize opportunities presented. Project teams are typically lean so be ready to wear a lot of hats (not necessarily a bad thing, but something to note). Uneven distribution of high and low profile projects doesn’t always allow for equitable experiences across the office. High performers who put in long hours get more opportunities so work/life balance is somewhat limited if you’re looking for rapid career growth.
