Pros

Flat organization affords good opportunities to work across teams at different levels and across different practices (for instance, a client may purchase Retirement services in addition to Health & Benefits services). Global leader in consulting, outsourcing & investments. Talented, knowledgeable staff. Great internal resources, including an extensive intranet and access to subject matter experts across the country. Company-wide townhalls are timely and very helpful. Competitive compensation package. Business casual dress and casual Fridays. Planned social events every month or so. Typically, the San Francisco office hosts a holiday party (for employees only) in December and a Giants or As tailgate/game in the summer (for employees and family members).

Cons

Subject to highly regulated transparency procedures which can be time consuming to complete.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
