Good benefits. Salaries are okay.

Cons

Matrix reorg has left everyone confused with roles and responsibilities. Lack of work/life balance. Management discourages collaboration, favors silos. Front office disconnect with back office.

Pros

Colleagues are for the most part technically astute, collaborative, and focused on the actions that will produce the best results for the client and the organisation.

Cons

There is an established process for everything which must be followed, regardless of the time sensitivity of the issue. There is not always a clear line to an ultimate decision maker for resolving some conflicts. Lack of diversity at EB level.

Pros

Employees are treated with respect. There are a lot of talented people to learn from. Large international company with many opportunities.

Cons

Too inward-looking. Huge amounts of time can be spent focused on internal processes. Not the most exciting business model, although obviously a very profitable in good times.
