Pros

Large size clients. International presence. Some (rare) very highly skilled talent

Cons

- Claim to be on the sustainability track = All talk, no nationwide growth strategy, little results. Most senior hires did not last a year before leaving... Huge road blocks internally - Commodity EHS provider with a squeeze on human resource and very high billable rates. - Career growth is pathetic, have not learned a thing in 7 years. - Salaries are miserable and annual bonus are a joke. Expect to get a flat 1-2% per year and a $500 annual bonus if your manager are not promoting your case (12 hours work days efforts for 12 months!) - Revolving doors at many offices due to poor leadership...

Pros

ERM is a powerhouse, especially in Oil and Gas. They have a lot of very talented consultants worldwide and really know how to help clients solve challenging problems even in remote regions. I worked on some of the most interesting projects.

Cons

The focus is always on the partners. The consultants are treated like cattle that can be used only for the benefit of the company. Little support is provided in training to make consultants better, and the pay is definitely far below the industry standard.

Pros

Flexibility, interesting work, and forward thinking. Great people.

Cons

ERM just instituted a mandatory holiday period from 12/26 to 12/31 starting in 2025. Great, right? No. We have to save up our own vacation to use or else take unpaid leave. This is done in an attempt to help us "recharge", but in effect is ear marking our vacation time that WE accrued in order make the books look better during a typical dead period in consulting. Just give us the days off as a paid holiday.
