Management was great, work life balance was awesome as long as i put my foot down on working outside of work hours. Fully remote and no tacking software. They treated you like an adult and dont mind what you did as lingas your got your stuff done. i had great managers

Cons

Really compensation and pay increases due to promotions. was underpaid based on market trends and experience. yearly increases was base 1.5% increase even if you were a high performer. Also, upward movement was very difficult.

Pros

Strong exposure to diverse industries and complex executive compensation data. The firm provides excellent technical training and the opportunity to work alongside some of the most knowledgeable consultants in the rewards and talent space. Great brand name for a career in HR or compensation consulting.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging during the peak proxy season and year-end cycles. Project timelines are often aggressive, requiring significant overtime. Like many large consulting firms, the hierarchical structure can sometimes slow down internal processes and career advancement.
