Pros

Smart dedicated colleagues who are dedicated to serving innovation sector clients. Flexible work environment. Incredible clients who disrupt old school models and improve the world. Good opportunity to advance if you are willing to sacrifice every other life activity.

Cons

Stressful - no work life balance. Inefficient and frustrating office set up: cubicles with no privacy. Poor and inconsistent leadership in some divisions. Lack of diversity in many divisions.

Pros

- Great benefits - Working with some of the coolest and most innovative clients in the industry - Excellent employee values and work/life balance - Plenty of open opportunities to move within the company, both vertically and laterally - Employee focused - Plenty of social opportunities outside of the office - Understanding and encouraging management

Cons

Some internal systems are outdated and clunky, and that can be seen as a hindrance when your primary client base are the leading and cutting edge companies in the tech and startup industry.
