Pros

Great people on my team Learnt a lot and supported to step out of my comfort zone Interesting work

Cons

The culture that they promote doesn't now reflect the reality of what it is like to actually work there. New raft of senior HR people were brought in who have fostered a negative culture. It felt very much like a clique of 'consultants' and new 'heads of' who have a superiority complex and don't treat loyal employees well. Having worked with a few of these senior people very closely in the run up to my leaving the firm I was disappointed that they couldn't even be bothered to say goodbye to me on my last day and wish me well. I think that reflects what the culture is really like there. So I wasn't sorry to leave. Also, the pay was terrible.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
