Pros

Very good & smart people, fun social events, great office location. It was a good chance for me to get to know a new location and I took advantage of the few opportunities I was given.

Cons

Don't go to OW if you are not a consultant, and also if you are an experienced professional with a new perspective. No career track or professional development opportunities to speak of. Middle management is old and crusty, and ideas and opinions count for very little.

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.
