Pros

As a senior professional, I joined ERM 5 years ago and have been so impressed by the growth opportunities as well as the commercial focus of the business. At ERM, it's about building strong collaborative relationships internally as well as with our clients. I've been so impressed by the breadth and depth of expertise at all levels.

Cons

Very strong emphasis on operational business metrics but if you work hard and align with overall business strategy, you will be fairly rewarded.
