Pros

Voluntary turnover is high so you frequently make new contacts. Lack of an agressive, up-or-out culture may be appealing to some.

Cons

Comp is terrible. Resources are limited. Management has been drinking the Kool-Aid on the justification for starvation wages. Getting properly rewarded for challenging work is impossible. The work-life balance doesn't hold true for front office personnel.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
