Lots of growth opportunities within, partners are interesting, friendly, and intelligent people

Cons

Very long hours, projects are chronically understaffed, middle managers tend to be a bit power hungry and unforgiving/two-faced, too many type A individuals with questionable EQs, marketing falsely advertises the company as one that cares about its employees

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.
