- If you're in DD, working on Big D projects will feel "different"
- Talent development and performance review models between DD and Big D seem to different greatly, which seems problematic if you're in DD but staffed on on something in Big D
- Lots of burnout. Long, sometimes very long, hours on some projects
- Tough to stand out in a very social environment, especially as an introvert
- Attracting, retaining, and promoting diversity is not a particular strength in many parts of the firm
