      Pros

      enormous breadth and depth of products, solutions, clients, locations, smart people, plus a quite impressive bench of senior leaders. strong brand and culture, strong sense of pride to work for this firm.

      Cons

      very complex organisation which primarily grew through acquisitions over the past years. very fast pace. compensation and promotion criteria fairly intransparent. sometimes too much talk, and not enough action/exectuion

      Pros

      - focusing on becoming be the biggest of all, WAY TOO GREEDY - Great salaries and bonus for the great top few. - lots of opportunity for women - well respect - good name in resume

      Cons

      - 99.99 % of employees are white, African Americans only at the administrated assistant levels. - almost impossible to move within departments. - Moving way too many jobs overseas. if promoted, the compensation increment may a be liability, not worth it. - it is a total SWEAT SHOP - not life balance at all. rather bring new employees from the outside than promoting from within.
