Pros

Some really good people, and some friends you'll keep for life. There is some area for a work/life balance, but you often have to push that to the side and compete for job security, whether or not you perform.

Cons

Some really bad people too... Sexism in the office, some managers will not directly speak to women. I've heard of female employees crying in the bathrooms because of this scare tactic. Office tattle-tells who say that people took two lunches when maybe all they did was head down to the Safety Council for some training that they were scheduled for. Poor office morale due to high turnover and poor advancement opportunities. You don't work your way up through this company, you go do something else for a while and then they hire you into a better situation.

Pros

PTO, world renown firm, reputable staff, ability to move offices, some employees have the ability to work from home (depending on if your manager lets you)

Cons

Poorly educated management. Pay is well below average for the industry, bonuses are horrible, pretty much non existent and offensive. Healthy care is below par. Rules are inconsistent between offices as it seems that managers often play favorites, especially heritage CRA offices. It seems like the Australia GHD offices are great and everyone is happy. The North American offices are treated like the red-headed step-child.

Pros

The only pro that I can think of is the ability to work remotely.

Cons

The executives and HR department are completely corrupt. They do not fairly compensate their employees, especially females. Someone should turn them into the EEOC. They expect you to work more than 40 hours a week, and be available 24/7 but do not want to pay for your cell phone or any overtime. They do not properly train their employees and send them out to sites unprepared, yet lie to the clients about the training and experience. The executive-level people are liars and keep all the company profit for their own pockets. I know of numerous sexual harassment claims that were turned into the HR department with no repercussions. One employee was told not to take it seriously since the harasser was intoxicated and had to keep working with the harasser. People are verbally abused and shamed for speaking out. I wouldn't tell my worst enemy to work here.
