Pros

Opportunity to work on diverse projects and within disciplines outside of your academic expertise. Acquires smaller firms with excellent reputations within industry.

Cons

Salary is below competing firms primarily because positions are salary based but designed to require greater than 50 hours per week to avoid layoffs. Management has lost client confidence because talented staff leaves then projects backfill with "FTE" rather than qualified staff. Therefore, quality of the product diminishes and clients decline ERM proposals.

Pros

Co-workers are mostly serious, do their work, are pleasant to be around, and are reasonable people. I enjoyed my time with these co-workers. There is a good emphasis on health and safety. The base salary is good.

Cons

Senior management expects a completely unrealistic profit margin, and the gap between expectations and reality is growing. The partners' collective greed is detrimental to the overall company. Senior management seems to take no role in shifting work loads from those who are overloaded to those who need work. The claim of one global company does not occur in practice. Staff have conflicting goals because managers try to manage project budgets but lower-level employees need to bill as many hours as possible. ERM is too tightly linked to coal, oil, and mining, which are diminishing industries because of their environmental harm. ERM is very cheap regarding expenses necessary to conduct work. The open office layout makes for a noisy work environment with co-workers having discussions at full volume and taking phone calls at their desk. The emphasis on health and safety gets out of control, eating too much meeting time. Health and safety is the only training provided; you are expected to do other training on your own time. Bonuses do not correspond to effort (extra hours worked).

Pros

1. various opportunities and project in short time period 2. lots of travel (if you like)

Cons

1. horrible / terrible management skill. over rapped managers but not many actual workers. all tech staff leave the company as they cannot get any support if they are not lined up with upper management. (most of tech staff leave the company within 2 years) 2. a mangers appeared from nowhere (usually good friend with upper manager) to milk your money and project by doing nothing. those managers charge a lot a lot a lot of money by signing the contract or reading your paperwork. cannot advise your report or technical side as they do have some random experience. they only overstate their relationship with good / big companies even many complaint from them. 3. work life balance is terrible
