Pros

Diverse and interesting staff, career advancement for some, plenty of opportunities to get involved and engaged. Can be fun and fulfilling at times

Cons

Highly politicized and divisive culture despite years of trying to create a unified internal identity as a desirable place to start and maintain a support staff career. For some, mostly on the consulting side, it can be a dream opportunity, but for support staff, its a case of the prisoners standing behind the barbed wire watching the parade of all that fine internal cultural growth and development pass them by. Double-standards abound. Lot's of fine words and time expended on improving the culture, but in practice, just not working. Severe lack of respect for support staff.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
