Pros

Collaborative, friendly environment in most office and most teams. Tons of resources and smart people on almost any HR consulting topic. Many opportunities to do interesting things, change and grow your capabilities / career, IF you take the initiative. Significant flexibility to work when and how you want, as long as you are getting your job done. Opportunities to work with all types of clients on all types of projects, big, small and innovative. Working on projects that improve the world and make a differece. Working with fun people who will go the extra mile for you, and who are truly interested in helping clients get great results. Learning from many diverse and talented collegues and clients.

Cons

As with any big company, there are times when things are broken / not working well and change comes slowly. At times it's easy to feel that there are too many buerocratic tasks added to the work day, diverting our attention and time away from the key tasks of doing great work for our clients. The administrative systems (billing, time entry, expenses, CRM, tech, telecom, etc.) have improved vastly over the years, but there's always room for improvement.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
