Pros

Reputable, employee-owned (not for long!), some great people here and there. New Financial & Legal leadership is encouraging. Advancement is possible if you know the right people.

Cons

Highly political internal environment. Female CEO very arrogant, borders on being unprofessional, and openly claims "girls club" leadership environment. It's embarrassing. Lots of hypocrisy. New Sales Leadership is forcing a competitor's approach into our company, while espousing how one of our greatest strengths is that we are not like others in our industry.

Business Outlook

Pros

A very strong history of doing great work for their clients and building lasting relationships that provide employees with meaningful work. On the forefront of virtual teams allowing many employees to work from home while delivering complex projects. The leadership is fairly flat but can be complex given the matrix type organization that is has grown into. Provides a lot of opportunity for driven individuals who have technical know-how. Benefits and compensation are competitive, especially for strategic hires.

Cons

Given the size of the firm, certain groups can make the employee feel lost in the numbers. Growth in high risk contracts has been a challenge. Experience can vary significantly depending on the office (which is true for a lot of large firms).
