Pros

-Good Team: Our Risk Advisory group is small, so it's easy to get to know people well. A lot of us are good friends. -Easy to Talk to Bosses: The leadership team is easy to approach, which is different from bigger firms. This lets you take more of a lead in projects early on if you raise your hand and show that you can manage it. -Good Pay: The salary is strong and raises usually come from hard work, not office politics. -Some Overtime Pay: We do get paid for extra hours, but it's a bit complicated. Payments come twice a year and you have to work a lot of extra hours all year to really benefit. -Work-Life Balance: Most of our work is remote (especially on the IT side), which provides a great work-life balance. The only caveat is that sometimes a client wants you to go onsite, but this has rarely happened to me.

Cons

-Growing Too Fast: The group has gotten bigger quickly, and we don't have enough support staff. This makes things a bit messy at times. -Weak Benefits: The health plan and paternity leave could be much better. -Tricky Overtime Rules: You have to work extra hours consistently over the year to get a good overtime payout, which can be hard.
