Pros

+ Exposure to all different kind of engagements and industries. + Working with professionals from all backgrounds. + Responsibility to work autonomously from management and flexibility in shift start/end times. + Opportunity to work with other member offices around the world. + Regular staff events and private functions.

Cons

- Work/Life Balance can be easily interrupted by overbearing managers. - Performance measurement is loosely based on job description. More performance metrics related to sales than quality of work. - No forewarning related to major HR policy changes. Effective date is normally the day or month you receive any notice which doesn’t engender discussion for the people affected. - Lack of consistent expectations ailing partners and management. - Infrequent bonuses and promotions with extending obligations. Payment of bonuses and lump sum pay increases contingent on the employee staying for 3 - 4 months after announcement. - Little to no notice when traveling out of town for work. - Clique based office culture - Weak IT Infastructure which is highly dependent on internet access.

Pros

Good place to learn or brush up on skills but that's all. Some good folks at the National office.

Cons

Too many to list but to sum it up: lack of direction, retention and vision. All they care about is becoming a billion dollar firm and that means losing good talent. Typically they hire incompetent individuals at the Mgr and Sr Mgr level. No bonuses, very mediocre benefits program, no work/life balance, etc.
