Pros

large network of people within a company that has a known brand name DEI, lgbtq+ friendly

Cons

company culture stifles career progress. middle and upper management talk big but deliver small. will brainwash you with Private Equity approved company culture, lead you to believe that without your long hours and overtime, the company will fall apart.. higher levels are too good to talk to us staff level cl1 and cl2.. all in all, they will throw you under the bus to appease the client. work life balance is a joke.

Pros

-You get to work with high-performing and smart coworkers -variety of projects and expertise between different technical groups -flexibility of location/hours -Project opportunities with interesting & well-known clients

Cons

-A lot of the staff with valuable technical expertise have left ERM. There seems to be a bigger focus on selling work that brings ERM a lot of billable hours. But the project work is often mundane & tedious compliance tasks that require very little technical skill from junior staff -high turnover of junior staff for multiple reasons - below industry salaries, lack of intellectually stimulating work, burn-out from long hours w/little payoff -project managers are often too busy doing the work rather than delegating and mentoring junior staff to enable them to make meaningful contributions -lack of technical sharing and mentorship. People are too busy worrying about billability rather than devoting time to non-billable areas like career development and technical sharing/training -opportunity for promotions and internal career growth can be limited and slow

Pros

Cool coworkers, great way to meet people in different industries, decent starting point for new opportunities

Cons

Low pay Awful Benefits Ridiculous expectations: I had been working at ERM for several months as a C1, when they started giving me PM work. I requested that since I was a PM on several projects, that I should get a raise. I also brought in business in a company that they were working hard to build a relationship with. They refused to give me any bump in pay, so I quit. If you give this company a chance, they will walk all over you. They will give you more work. You will be putting in over 40 hours every week.
