Remote work Great colleagues Great parties

There are no guaranteed merit increases. Bonuses are minimal typically under 3% and are distributed at the company’s discretion. Leadership lacks transparency, and employees are frequently reassigned between accounts. 0 growth opportunities

Pros

Lots of good people who want to do good work

Cons

Pay and more importantly, lack of pay transparency. They rarely give raises to your base pay if you are a fee earner and your "bonus" is actually commission off the billings tied to you. They do not share a bonus % and you jut have to hope year after year you that they will pay out. Base pay is laughable for this level of work.
