Pros

The opportunity exists to work on a large variety of interesting projects in multiple ways. ERM has roles for everything from technical, commercial, to people focuses. As a global organization with interconnected offices, there really is no limit to networking and interesting work. ERM has a clear career framework and clear expectations depending on the career level and role. ERM goes as far as to create different quantitative metrics for technical, project management, and consulting roles within each level. There are many opportunities for flexible working arrangements and so far no requirements for return to office. ERM also does make DEIB a priority and offers a variety of options for employees to connect with people of similar demographics or to learn from others through employee resource groups and learning calls. Safety is number 1 and there are several safety trainings and certifications required, especially for more high risk work such as earth disturbance.

Cons

As with most consulting firms, the onus is on the individual to excel in their careers. You are responsible for creating your own networks, connecting to work, and driving your career forward. This job is definitely best for Type A personalities. ERM is not very competitive from a salary perspective. You can definitely find other places to make more money. Sometimes the corporate side gets to be a lot. There are a lot of five dollar words and jargon said in a lot of the corporate calls and communications. However, ERM is very open to feedback and I have seen many changes in response to feedback over the years I have been here. Sometimes the intense training requirements can make it hard to staff projects.
