Career progression can be really rapid at OW if you are are a star; Generally enjoy the people who I worked with; Work on exciting projects;

Cons

Zero (literally, zero) name recognition - I don't think I've ever had one person that is actually familiar with the company - they have a really bad brand recognition problem; Work life balance is bad but similar to other consulting firms;

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.
