Pros

Some Partners are great and care about your future

Cons

Managers lie about expectations, they do not care about your growth at the company. The Salary here, with the amount of work you do, is awful. A huge feel of boys club. They also DO NOT live their culture and values whatsoever. They def don't practice what they preach as one of the biggest HR consulting firms. Toxic culture

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
