Pros

Genuinely nice people, variety of projects, party culture if you want to find friends at work

Cons

Seriously silly promo process that requires every employee to own large internal projects that end up being vanity projects solely for promotions and waste everyone else’s time. Very popularity based: old boys culture - some of the people in leadership were such a joke it was hard to take levels seriously when alll that mattered was tenure. Lastly, bonuses were a scam. You could work 300 hours more than someone in a year and get $2k for that, not worth it.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
