Pros

Job autonomy. Flexibility. Support from EPs. Wide range of opportunities. Good opportunities for bonuses and awards.

Cons

Constant flow of work, so you juggle a lot at once. Some teams need educating around how to work with production, which can take away from the task at hand. Tight budgets and often tight deadlines.

Pros

Good compensation at level Early career employees were typically high achievers (good people)

Cons

Junior employees overworked/stretched with limited support from senior leaders. Limited forward thinking re: client challenges. Rather, there is a lot of "here are five old presentations, use these and make something from it" Observed clear examples of microaggressions against employees of color. Internal systems (time, expenses, staffing) are well-below industry / professional services standard Lack of ethical alignment between what leaders say and what they do - e.g., the clients the firm takes on or how they let clients behave
