      Terrible place to work, but typical of consulting companies.

      Pros

      I can think of none. The partner I reported to was consistently late or did not show up to appointments with me, did nothing to further my career, and actively prevented me from finding work.

      Cons

      Lack of Advancement Opportunities, Politics, Organizational Structure, Lack of Recognition to junior staff.

      Pay attention to the leaders who are sending the message through their actions that People are last.

      Pros

      As a whole, ERM offers a challenging environment with opportunities to develop your knowledge and be part of teams involved in interesting projects. There is vast opportunity to work with other cultures across the globe and, if your skills and qualifications are right, for global travel and involvement with colleagues in other offices. Good opportunity to work directly with clients on ongoing projects of large scope. The company offers many training opportunities to advance your knowledge and your interpersonal skills, whether company-created courses or external courses the company subscribes to and incorprates into its culture. Company promotes and encourages personal professional certification efforts.

      Cons

      There is a disconnect between management and the people. The "People First" strategy is more empty-words internal marketing than a real approach backed up by actions. The drive of billable hours is understandable for a consulting firm but the underlying message of moving non-billable time to project time is just short of truthful time reporting. Senior partners push out an elitist attitude that leaves many staff distrustful and feeling as if they are no more than cogs in the wheel of partner success. Bonus program is uneven and focused towards the partners rather than those who work on projects and deal with the clients face-to-face on a daily basis.

      Pros

      Large global consultancy with significant client sectors

      Cons

      A company that has lost its way because senior leadership - particularly in the U.S. - are made up of people who don't know how the real work is done and are more focused on the optics of "sustainability" rather than how to support a client's need to sustain their business.
