Pros

The people are the company's greatest asset, second only to diverstiy of services offered.

Cons

Very low pay and too many pointless midmanagers who are there only because they were there already in the late 90s, before the big expansion following September 11th and the Iraq occupation. Because of them, it's very difficult to progress or even get a pay rise.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Some of the work can be very interesting. - The firm does a bit of everything. - Global presence. - Everyone was very good people and easy to work with.

Cons

- Culture prioritizes individual areas of "expertise" over collective efforts resulting in a stiff and slow pace of work. The "One Firm" motto is not practiced. - Politics remains king for career advancement. - Junior employees get no visibility and their ideas are discarded very easily. Innovation is almost non existent.
