Pros

Strong institutional legacy and brand. Smart, hard working people. Deep functional expertise across multiple domains. Opportunities to be entrepreneurial and take measured risks.

Cons

Core Values were jettisoned immediately following the acquisition. A once very people-centric culture that valued people as assets rapidly gave way to a single-minded focus on cost cutting. As a result, the qualities that made the firm a truly outstanding place to work are now sadly a thing of the past. Much of the best talent seems to have moved on. Those who have remained seem resigned to hunker down and do whatever it takes to avoid a lack of work letter.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
