      Pros

      Interesting projects after you have established yourself and some really great, smart people at the company. Work life balance can be good if you set boundaries. Flexibility to work from home.

      Cons

      The compensation and bonus structure are poor and geared towards rewarding partners and those that bring in a lot of work. Career development and growth opportunities are hard to come by. You have to be very motivated and your own advocate to grow your career.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of flexibility (work at home, flexible schedule, work from other offices). Opportunities to be involved in many different projects, including some international assignments. Great Pro-bono opportunities through the ERM Foundation. Lots of on-the-job training. Direct line managers tend to be really good.

      Cons

      Low base pay and little bonuses, not competitive with peer consulting firms. Only 7 National Holidays + 1 floating, and not enough vacation time. Difficult to grow and get promotions. Vacancies in higher levels are normally filled up with outsiders, making it very difficult for in-house employees to grow. Training programs are very scarce and only focus on high-level staff. Quality of training is low and does not focus on developing consulting/project management skills. Work-life balance is challenging: lots of hours and consultants are over-worked most of the time. Junior staff has a lot of pressure on billability, leaving them little room to develop non-billable work. Although line-managers tend to be really good, there is only so much that they can do given ERM's nature and higher management decisions.
