Pros

Wide variety of projects. Lots of opportunity for travel both domestic and international. Decent work life balance. Efforts to improve corporate culture.

Cons

Hyper focused on practice areas. General consensus that pay is below competitors. Practice areas can be stymied by working for a greater public company. High expectations on performance despite limited training.

Thanks for your review. To address your concerns regarding pay, we actually participate in a variety of external surveys to ensure we are benchmarking ourselves against competitors. Sometimes our ability to pay more is restricted due to specific client contracts or affordability, but we strive to pay fairly in all areas of the company. As it relates to training, there are a variety of resources available to all employees starting from opportunities within your group or business unit, moving all the way through the various opportunities in our Learning Institute. Feel free to reach out to the Learning & Development team or a member of Human Resources for assistance or to discuss further.

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
