Pros

Work-life balance is a priority. However, it varies greatly from team to team and office to office. There is an effort by employees to have fun.

Cons

Low morale across all levels of staff. Career success not closely tied to client work / results. Compensation and bonus are below market.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
