Pros

Flexible with remote work if your manager approves.

Cons

I can't even count the number of colleagues who haven't received so much as $1 pay increase in years of working here despite positive performance reviews and client feedback. The leaders here definitely have their "favorites" and it can make others on the team feel really uncomfortable. There have been so many leader departures / firings in the last year alone. Very few of us "workhorses" feel motivated or confident in the direction of the firm. Net/net, these are not leaders you want to work under and hard work gets you no where here. It is more political than most other places I've worked.
