Pros

In terms of responsibilities there is the potential to take on all aspects of project management as the organization is relatively flat aside from Senior Management. Opportunity to travel.

Cons

The above-mentioned positive described above is also a problem in that promotions are rare, the management is conservative, and relatively inexperienced staff can be in charge of decisions beyond there experience, leading to waste of productivity. Wages are below par for industry, but compensated for usual office perks

Pros

Lots of resources Good compensation and benefits Challenging opportunities

Cons

Culture pushed down from several levels above my position is one that puts a higher priority on utilization than on client satisfaction or project delivery. Management tends to micro-manage. Matrix structure is not helping offices succeed if located outside of a major market. Overhead is oppressive. Hard to accept that our overhead costs are significantly higher after combining 20-30 heritage companies, each previously with their own IT, legal, finance, and management costs. Management has not developed expectations on a regional geographic basis for ensuring that all employees across all business lines are being efficiently utilized. P&L responsibility and reporting is rolled up along business lines instead of geographically.

Pros

None that I can think of. Health care benefits are good but that is about it.

Cons

No employee focaus. You are just a number of the 44,000 employees. There are no faces to this company. The faces are the employees who management could care less about. Management does not care about hte employees they don't even know who thye are. The offices are mirrors they only see themselves.
