Pros

Lots of experience that will help you at your next job.

Cons

No work life balance at all - I was even told that I was not allowed to coach my 6 year old son's sports team as it did not "Add anything to the bottom line." Chargeable hour expectations are highly unrealistic - With all of the admin duties they add to your workload you need to work 800 to 900 hours of overtime a year to come close to the budgeted charge hours. Horrible office politics - Culture is very much a what can you do for me mentality.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
